For that I'd imagine you'd use two sprites, one for the upper body and one for the lower body. Then when the character walks in water (up to his waist) you show only the top sprite, and change the bottom sprite to some ripple effects, to make it look like he is half submerged in water.

I've been through the exact same problem, in my game, when making the 3D models i made the running models, walking models etc all upright and exported them like that, but for the swimming models i rotate the object to swimming position before exporting it, so in-game when you loop your walk animation, your objects is upright but when you loop the swim animation, your object automatically changes to swimming position withought having to go trhough any complex code or anything. hope u understood that ^_^

u might wanna take a nice spot light, and make the light follow the position over him about 4 body lengths up and make it shine on him to create a sun and water depth effect.
the lower he goes in altitude dim the light to make it look like hes going deeper dynamically.


its all about good math, physics and dynamics that makes games really awsome.
Hope that gives u cool ideas.

Happy Gaming!

I only speak the truth....

xrotate object 1,90:fix object pivot 1?

What hexgear said is a good suggestion unless you are doing the animations at run-time.
