Here's Lyne's free and excellent English Coonhound, available over at Planit3d.com. Nice model to play with as the P4 Dog loads and renders VERY FAST! If you're looking for a Fun and Quickie DS test model, try this one.

Actually- I took out the Diamonds! I had point lights behind them but it was going to take four times longer to render so I deleted them (looked great however). Notice that there is a Coon Hound Shadow on Traveler's Sky Dome
(free at RDNA) and I left it in on purpose- hence- "Coonhound in the sky---"

Here's the Warroak on the high seas. Still working on the ocean map, and this scene takes up a lot of RAM, but you can see the FUTURE of Daz Studio here!

In fact, E-On Software makes a plug-in for doing stuff like this in Lightwave, and there are other Ocean Effects plug-in's by people like Psunami- look for stuff like that showing up as plug-ins in Daz Studio 2004!

Why does it stretch the textures on the water? I'm noticing that on some of the walls I'm using as well. Marque

It appears to be a UV mapping problem- or "issue". A number of my TransPond stuff, like Adobe Mission, shows the same thing. Some walls look fine, others have that "streak" look. I think this DS Alpha is showing the problems that can be addressed maybe before the first Beta is released. People who see this should file a Bug Report with DAZ- (but I kind of suspect they already know about it.) There are other things too, like seams that show up on models. Again- File a Bug Report just to be sure they are aware of it.
