Hi there.. that water surface was pretty simple to do. If you look
closely at the surface, you'll notice some clouds in the water.
I reflected clouds on the surface, for one. Also, I made the
glossiness medium with a bit lower specularity.
And the water color is a dull dark dank sea green / blue.
That's it.
Typically, water is set to high gloss, white / blue color,
and high spec.
I'm not in front of LightWave right now, so I can't give you the
exact numbers... I'll post again when I can take a look at it.
Thanks,
Dan Ablan
