Hi to all out there, Im currently using Vue 7.5, following a very simple tutorial on how to make an underwater scene and managed to get it quite nicely done. Now what I don't know how to do is, how to get some sort of basic wavy movement without ruining my scene. I tried the basic way, right click on the water and go to edit object if i check displaced over water surface it ruins the whole scene, and if i don't check it, somehow when i render im not getting any kind of movement.

Any thoughts???

Thanks for your time!

I wouldn't try to animate the water for this, but the plants, fish, water bubbles, caustics (even fake ones). This would bring the animation alive.

Still, If someone knows how to do it! It ould really come in handy, at the very least to get the wavy motion of the shadows on the floor, like on this video

To bring it more to life

Hey, i just realized what caustic actually means. How do I animate that? Sorry if it's kind of a stupid question, but it's really important! Thanks in advance!

In your Vue manual, you have a tutorial called "Moving caustics". check it out.
