 Ok, does anyone remember how this was done. There is a demo scene

that came with my tS6.6... Its called "Waves and Ball". It consist of a

a small pool and a beach (like) ball bouncing into the pool. The surface

of the water (in the pool) actually deforms!!! I have pulled the scene

apart and cant figure how this was done. I have taken the scene apart.

The water is a simple cube with the top face (water surface) sub-divided

into lots of smaller polys. The deformation is a wave like motion and after

the ball hits the water there is even a ripple that spreads out from that

spot. (Which looks like it would if you through a pebble into a pond, with

circular wave like deformations spreading out. The surface of the water

had a bump map and reflection map... But I can not figure how the

DISPLACEMENT was created. It is a TRUE DISPLACEMENT the surface

mesh does move like real water.... Anyone remember how this was done????
