step 1 is to refrain from filling boards with 5 topics.

edit - ok 3 but ts still as bad , to make water either use some sort of water texture or if your 3d modelling app supports raytracing and such, then im sure you can setup some water type material using a nose/fractal based bump map on the surface of the water and get some reflection/refraction etc etc.

Do you mean make realistic water in a DB game or make realistic water in a rendered image?

use a shader, in dbp you can use evolved`s water shader that uses a 2nd camera to simulat reflection and offsets it using an image on the watr plain and it looks pretty cool.

For example here is that same shader in use



Which does look pretty cool, if you do not have shader support a texture on a ghost plane works okay

Yey! I removed the sig...

Try looking at EVOLVED's posts, he makes the download post first, then shows a screenshot, if you see the screenshot, scroll up a slight bit for the download, I'll find you the direct link (I think its about page 4)
