This site has some good info also, unfortunatly the app is no longer available. Check the links for some wave-info with grayscale images (you can always draw them in Illustrator or a paint program anyway): http://www.hknot.com/wavesworld/

Thanks for the links guys, I've pretty much got the wave thing down pretty good, I have even doen a turorial on making waves with KPT 3's gradient designer myself. I just need to know jaw to make the area going into the water look more real. The Islend pictures a few threads back looked really good, but I want to be able to do some close up shots, if you know what I mean. That Waves World program looked pretty interesting, too bad it's no longer available. I've check out all these links but I havn't found a tutorial on going exactly what I'm after. I saw some a long time ago, but I can't for the life of me remember, or find them now. Thanks, kaom If anyone knows where to find them, I'll be very grateful!

Hi I am currently working on a river/stream scene for sleepy hollow. I am very fervently trying to create a convincing appearance of the waterline between the stream and the land. I understand what it is you are looking for and also understand the problems. Assuming I can do it, I will make a tutorial about it. But so far, without making a lot of duplicate objects, I have failed miserably. but, if it can be done...I will find a way. I will probably have offer what I have thus far and ask the community for additional ideas...and even then, I see this as a problem. The various "lines" and texture linearity are proving to be a problem..in the extreme. Anyhow, within a month...I hope to have this solved for everyone...one way or another. later BT
