yay i can finaly help someone in need.

here the steps

+ Code Snippet

Open 3ds max

load the texture provided

make the texture the defuse color

put the second texture in opacity

for reflection choose mix and choose the water texture and choose reflect/refract and set the mix value to 10 or 50 %

You might want to use the noise modifier and choose animate if you do use it.
then render

you should get a water that looks almost like this

i kinda messed up mc's texture.

Hi there

You should try to apply an actively changing chrome effect to your water object. There is an excellent entry on the CodeBase. Here is the link:http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_search&global=true&ca=&la=&ma=25&te=chrome&sc=summary&p=

If that doesn't work try search the CodeBase for "Chrome Effect"

Hope this helps
