I was wondering if there is a way to render water in poser, I really need to do this for a new project and I can't seem to get Bryce working. If anyone knows how to do this that would be of great help.

there is no way to render realistic looking water in poser4 may be poser5 new materials may offer this ability why cant you get water in bryce?? bryce is great at doing water

Above's a silly little example I did a couple of years ago...

I use Joe Kurz's Water Properties: two planes with really nice waves--one low waves and one higher. And they're free!

Saxon! Wow! What an idea. Tried it just now, and it works beautifully. Probably better to use a separate Box rather than the ground plane, so that it can be moved in all dimensions. Keyframing the Phase leads to a moving wave that looks right. I'd been completely ignoring Poser's deformers after struggling uselessly with Magnets. Shouldn't have generalized from Magnets to Waves, I guess.......

Try it with multiple transparent planes for a volumetric effect (similar to Nerd's fog prop). Poser 5 will have a new turbulence deformer. That should make for some interesting possibilities (waterfalls or running water, perhaps?).

What do you mean with "Realtime"? I wanted a realistic water effect with breakers and wave behaviour (a logo rising from the pool). I have been searching for poser stuff, asked Vue d'esprit users, ended up with Lightwave (I used Lightwave some 8 years ago on the Amiga computer, it was first called Silver I believe) and the RealWave plugin. This is a frame of a gallrey page: http://www.nextlimit.com/realwave/gallery/gallery.html Main page: http://www.nextlimit.com/ Extremely realistic wave simulation. Installing is a bit complicated and the tutorials are not cut for LW 7, but it does work like a charm. The bad news is that the plug-in costs some 500 dollars, the good news is that it they offer a demo so you can use it for one project, sell the project and buy the plug-in
