I am currently using Inventor 2010 but i am struggling to create a realistic sea water effect. I need to make an annimation where the camera flys over the scene but also goes under the water.

I have been experimenting using the surface styles when in the inventor studio and adding bump maps and diffuse maps but with no luck. i can get a reasonable attempt when working with a smaller scale but the particular surface i need to change is 300m x 200m x 35m . As i am modelling a sea scene.

any help would be great :D

Inventor is not the best program for making realistic under water camera effects:huh:, it's an engineering tool, 3d Max and all those in that field can do that.

Cheers Lazer,
yeah i thought it was a bit much for inventor but it's all i have. Will just have to play around with the surface styles untill i get a close enough look.

Thanks
