Ok, I am able to add a water quality to a pane.  No big deal with that one.  But my problem with this one is how do you get it to where you can increase the bump height?  Have tried it with a texture property, just a numeric property, I have tried mixing the two(not sure if it works that way but I did try it), with absolutely no effect.  Do you have to change the volume material?  If so, change it to what?  I am new to Bryce and I am also using Bryce 6.  Bad choice to start with maybe?  I have been trying for the last 6 hours to texture my water with waves, and I get nothing but flat water.  

Last night I was actually able to texture my water with waves, but being inexperienced with the program(and stupid), I lost the bryce file and ended up with only an image file.  I have no idea how I was able to do it now.  I was going to look at the settings in the material lab again to see what I had done but had nothing left to look at.  I have to say though, the image isn't bad for only using Bryce for not even 2 days with no idea of what I was doing.  I just don't know how to do it again.  If someone could just point me in the right direction of how to do this, that would be incredible.

Oh, and I have also dug through countless tutorials for this.  Found one that would have helped but it was apperently a different or older version of Bryce because there was a foam editor lab.  Does Bryce 6 have this?  I haven't seen it, and I did look at ever editing lab I could find in Bryce 6. Or am I just looking at the wrong tutorials?
