I'm doing a walkthrough scene of my backyard, which has a pool. Does anyone know where I might find an animated bumpmap for water?

Actually, I discovered that mixing several 'ripple' shaders in my bump map can give me the effect I want. (Well, almost -- apperently causistics don't animate very well in Carrara 4 -- I've ordered 5, but its not here yet, but I'm hoping to get some better results).

$79?? Ouch....

Do a search for a little program called Caustics Generator. This is a freebie that creates a single frame or animation of caustic patterns that you can use in light gels or animated bumps easily.
