Has anyone managed to produce fairly photorealistic sea water in Carrara 5? So far have tried ...

  1. Texture maps of real sea water in color, bump, transparency channels
  2. Using displacement mapping
  3. Used a sky dome to get more natural lighting

But can't get anything that looks good enough - certainly not of the quality of certain rivals like Vue.

Any shaders to share? Tips?

Thanks
Richard
