Hello all i'm trying to make a beach/ocean, and i'm using a procedural terrain like they have in the vue infinite 5 book tutorial. But when i do. i can still see the ground in the horizon.. but i want it to be blue wwater, not sand.. how can i extend a Procedural terrain to cover all the ground that i need? thanks

Uh, I don't have alot of RAM, so I never tried this myself, but try manually stretching the water terrain until it is larger than the "circle" you see when zoomed far out in "top" view. Failing all else, make the ground plane water, and add a new terrain to simulate the land.

You can add an infinite water plane. Look in the 'Objects' -> 'Create' menu. The first option is 'Water'.

Go to the Atmosphere editor and and use the slider to no fog and haze.

You need to stretch your terrain, or as Agiel suggested, add an infinite water plane, but this won't be animated, if you want to animate the plane, you'll have to animate the plane's material, and it may not match the ocean animation.
