Hi there,

can someone please show me how to render my water for animation? I use vray for rendering and I did not get it although I used the vray manual...
I attached two images, the first one is a bit older, the second one is a frame from my background-layer-animation (without water).

please help me!!

does noone have any idea?
my main problem is that because the water is refractive and reflective, following the manual steps would mean to render nearly the whole scene completely again for the water layer. I had the same problem with glass walls surrounding an object and because the deadline came near I rendered the glass layer with scanline and its alpha channel and with faked reflections.

but there must be a solution for that problem, I hope!
