I've had this issue with about three seans I've tried to do.. For one say.. I got a sea that goes on out into the horizon. It looks nice and fine.. But in the foreground I have some whales swimming. Now the water looks fine in the background as it fades off in the horizon, but in the forground with the whales, the flat calm of the water just looks fake. I wanted to add some 'waves' not the rolling ones or the kind that are crashing against something. Just some calm, faint 'hump' like waves. I tried doing it using the terrain. But I found using that, and adding it 'over' or in the flat water, gives a very usly effect. a double illusion of the models and the terrain will not blend in with the flat water. And all in all it looks just horrid. Is there a better way to do it? To have the 'flat' water only in the background, and not across the whole sean? It looks fine with one or the other.. but not both together. But to have the water fading off fare into the horizon, I need the flat water.. So.. can anyone lend me a hand?
