Hello ladies & germs I'm new to Vue4, and I need to know if there are any good tutorials on making a nice realistic looking, caribean or south pacific type tropical beach.

Ask me a question, and I'll give you an answer.

looking AT the see, or FROM the sea?

In the terrain editor, draw lines that are parallel to your beach. Use the top perspective and a soft brush with the flow set fairly low. Then clip the terrain a little to get rid of the flat spots. Then set your "wave terrain" on a water plane. It just takes a lot of messing around to get good results. Here is an old pic that i made quite some time ago.

Have a look at these links... Perhaps you can copy some of the methods used in them??? First one - A very simple and old pic I've done... Only used palmtrees and rural maples :) http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=234169 The second is is created bu Tobias aka IceRain. It's one of the most brilliant tropical beaches ever created in Vue! It's just fantastic! http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=407739 I hope this will help you a little bit :) - Thomas
