Dead Trees? and Water Help!

[ElDiablo (Paul)]

Hey all...

Well it's no secret that I'm working on a new track. I have pretty much finished all the detail work of the track itself and am just working on the environmental aspects now to really make it all FIT together and make sense. Things like making ATV and walking paths between sections of the track, adding a lake/water feature, sky, etc...

What I need now is the make the lake look more realistic. So I'm asking for help with the settings on the WATER because at the moment there is just a dead (non-moving/no waves) lake, and I THINK that the water should be able to have at least some sort of waves in it? Am I wrong here?

Finally...I am looking for some dead trees to place on the edge of the lake. Around here we have a lot of man-made lakes and there are usually dead trees around the shoreline unless they have been cleared out (which doesn't happen much around here). So I know of some 2D trees...but I'm hoping that there are a few 3D ones available in the veggies.

Any help or advice on either subject is very much appreciated and respected. So thanks in advance!

Mmh.. It's been a while since i've messed with it but the main water animation is when something "crashes" into it But the water UV map (i think) is the only map you can mess with as well as the settings for the water color etc.. (don't get saved in the .track file so you have to re-enter them everytime you open DE )
