I'm looking for a way to make realistic water like the one in 3dMark (both 2001 and 03). I think that it's a vertex shader. DBS should make some tutorials about vertex and pixel shaders!
This is what I want:

your kindof asking for the impossible. that pic is a rendered image. if you were to put that quality of water into realtime 3d, it would slow down the game speed by a ton.

This image is from a realtime 3d app! It's a benchmark app called 3dmark03. Go on http://www.futuremark.com and see with your eyes. Anyway I don't want a scene like this: I only want to do a water like it (or the one in UT2003, it's good)!

P.S.: sorry 4 my bad english :-(

It's realtime but it isn't very fast: I get 12 to 25 fps on this benchmark with my Radeon 9500@9800r300 and an Athlon XP 2200+ :-s

There is an ocean water shader in U5.

Be aware that Vertex and Pixel shaders are complex beasts and you need to know a lot before you can achieve even a little.

The advantage of P5 is that other people's shaders can be applied with minimum effort.
