I'm working on a landscape with a sea shore, now I need to find a good setup for the water material itself and for foamly waves, for the sand etc. the question is, how can I obtain the look for the water that is deep blue in the horizon but almost trasparent on the shore, how to obtain good-looking waves that disappears on the sand leaving it wet? and finally, how to make sand becoming dry again?

sorry for my bad bad english, I hope the question is clear...:hmm:

so I'm waiting for your help! :) (I use max)

here is the image I obtained until now

FOR SHORE..
make mixed material with gradient mask, and animate it.
first mat is dry sand and second is wet, simple.

Actually it is done with a falloff map, but isn't so realistic...
My problem in particular is to make them becoming foamly
(same technique of wet sand? :) )

Argh mi ugly english! :P:P:P
