No, but I'm working on it. But I'm not getting anywhere so far.

Take a look at the demo scenes included with Vue - there are some very nice water textures.
The hard part about water is not only the material, but the lighting and camera angle all play a part in how it looks, so what is great in one picture can be just OK in another. By "taking apart" the demo scenes, you can see what settings are used. Change things around and see what happens - great learning experience!

Check out ivan B's ocean and foamy shoreline flash videos at the attached link. Good stuff, he even has some mat files for ocean foam etc. Get you headed in the right direction :-) Ron

The King of Vue water is Monsoon over at 3D Commune. I can't remember a time when I haven't used his SeaVue water mats for my renders. You can find him and SeaVue at:
