Hmmmm...you took a picture of your boat and then overlayed it on a max scene? Nah, you probably didn't do that! Functions on a terrain, causing waves? is that Guitta's water texture? OK, I'll bite--- what's the trick? --Mike BTW, Steve, that water is amazingly clear and simply gorgeous! Boat's cool too, but my own personal boat makes it kinda look like one of those little ones you can rent at some of the State parks, and.......yeah right....No, i do not have a boat-- not any more. used to, but I think now some State park is renting it out...LOL
