Sorry- still brain-storming here-- but it seems to me that with the Ecosystem features you could assign very nice water-sprays and white caps to the peaks of ocean waves-- making for very realistic ocean effects... Also- the next BIG ocean effect would be-- Real Surf Waves-- by assigning the 3D curlers and wave form models others have already created to ocean waves, as well as ocean spray and white cap/foam effects, you could create some very nice rolling surf waves. You could use Ecosystem controls to cause the waves to increase in size and fall on beach areas, with reasonably real looking effect! I am hoping there are a few talented python writers out there who could use these already created models (i.e, by Forester, Monsoon, etc.) to create waves that behave in rolling sequences, fall, crash to foam, and recede, etc... (Sorry, I'm repeating myself! This is really exciting new territory and I can see HUGE new possibilities for using the Ecosystem controls...)
