Suppose you used the height field around the ships and then transitioned it into
a simple bumpmap for the rest of the ocean? That way, you would see the waves
against the ship hulls, but you would also get decent wave effects at distance
and the horizon would be flat. I guess the transition would be the hard part.
just a thought. Looks great though.
