My suggestion about what to do with the rendered waves. For what is is worth, I suggest taking whatever renedered wave thing you have made in Bryce, opening the rendered file in Painter 5, or 6, and then painting in the details, with the watercolor, and oil brushes. I also suggesst this for Poser hair. I say this with respect, and apply it to myself, also, that we can't expect Bryce, or Poser, to do everything. There is no getting around, post-render, painting work, using either Painter, or Photoshop, to make a CG image look really high class. Don't be intimidated by Painter, if you don't have a traditional painting background, because you can continually erase your mistakes, until you get things just right. Bryce does a great job with textures, and you will only be adding some post painting details to the image. Sea foam can be made using Painter's chalk, and a sponge type brush.
