I am following this tutorial found on renderosity about making water reflections in p5 or p6. The tutorial was done in P5 so it seems there is some diffrences in settings I cant seem to figure out to get the disire results.Tutorial Link: http://www.renderosity.com/tut.ez?Printable=916
Now the problem Im having is with displacement maps in p6 I can not get the same results with the ripple effect in the water reflection.
here are the images Im working with, and what im getting as a result. http://www.inspirations3d.com/wip.html
I tried lowering the displacement setting and raising still no effect. Anyone try this tutorial with Poser 6 and got the results of the tutorial, can you let me know how you did it?
Also I would like to change the color of the water effect to match the water tent of the background image I would like to use. I was told i need to adjust the transulcent node. Not sure exactly how or what this really is.(sorry for showing my noobieness ;D) Can anyone explain that to?
Last Thing anyone know a good tut on making water displacement maps, I would like to try to make my own as well perhaps it will better help me understand them and when to use them.
Thanks for any help I can receive, sorry for the long post.

I figure out the displacement map problem. I feel so dumb i forgot to click the use displacement map setting in the render option. >.> <.< Any how I would still like to figure out how i can blend the water color with that of the background image to make it appear as if it is the same. And Information on how to make displacement maps on my own in photoshop 7 or CS. Thanks again :D Chris
