larry3d, thanks for the complement and the input. I tried pulling the verts with prop-edit turned on to try to get more of a wavy effect, but then I'd get faces reflecting the "sand" and the bright white patches looked like rips in the mesh. I need to find a better way to do water. I did kinda liked the way the reflection relieved the detail on the chair (stripes). BTW, you are the first member to leave a comment on one of my posts. A milestone reached! Thanks again!
A nice picture. He looks satisfied and happy. :D
The reflection on the water is too sharp.
