For lighting you may want to have a look at this, if this is the "ocean effect" you mean:

Hi Kaas,
Sorry... I don't get the point about what are you trying to do :)
Did you mean ocean floor reflected on the car's glass ? or wet street on the tunnel or what kinda ocean effects ?
have any sample pics / illustration ? :)

[kaas]

I'm also very new at maya... but i'm THINKING may be you can find pictures of aquariums and put them outside of the glass as a texture on a plane or some sort? Or you can model different fishes, apply texture and use some sort of particle system. But I still think the simple texture might be the best way if your car is going to be going by this scene quite fast... If not you'll have to manually model, animate, the whole 9 yard.

i think that is the easyest way to do it, but i am a studen and this is not payed job so there is enough time and i want to test some things and learn very much so i try als things.

tnx for the reply

Heh, ya that's whe way I would do it, looking at your tunnel. Taken the length (quite short) your car would zoom past by it quite fast if you're going to be animating it at a realistic speed :) So having your sea world animated isn't all that important. So then in that case a quick and dirty texture of a sea world would do :)
