Texture? whats to do, All I think you would need is a good ripply shot of water and load it into a photo program, grey scale the image lighten it and turn it negative, or not. Try both. Apply the first image as a texture map and apply the 2nd as trans map turn up the transperence min and max(experement) in the manager window and that should be fine. Water is blury enough you should not need to worry about seams too much since it will largly be a transperent figure?? I don't have the water elemental but I have done similar things on others. I can't imagine it not working. I'mm at work so I cant show you, if you look at my gallary I did the same to the water in the tub in "you wanna hear a story" and the water the lady is standing in, in "Tropical" that is on a flat plane though, I have done it to figures too though. Let me know if that helps or if you already tried that, let me know that it didn't work. It might be cool to use a underwater shot with fish in it too. Tony
