Simple question. Simple answer? How do you make good-looking flash animated water? I dont want that silly reflection thing that just makes simple waves from top to bottom or side to side. I have done that. Doesn’t look right. I want a water animation that closely resembles water in repetative loops of water, such as in video games (i.e star wars galaxies, everquest 2, morrowind…) where the water doesnt move in a general direction but sits idle with slight waves moving a current which seems just randomly through the water. Any ideas? Any help? references to tutorials that may be the right idea?
