What you have to understand, and I don't know what your level of 3d modelling experiance is, is that if you want 'actual' waves you have to model them.

I personaly have no experiance in modelling a water scene, but there are those here that have and do. I will now create a new thread called 'WATER HELP PLEASE', and we'll ask others here if they have a tutorial or methods for creating what I think you're after.

Please look for this thread and post your comments on it and we'll see what happens.
