Here's the water from my "Titanic" rendering (Can be seen on Brickshelf
"Sinking ships", no URL available - I'm offline while writing). It combines
a 'plane with wawes' with a height field. The reason for the height field is
that a plane with wawes still is completely flat where the ship cuts the
water, while a height field gives more natural wawes, really sinking and
rising.
Experiment with the colors, transparency and scaling for the height field
(and plane) to get a sea you like. Do these experiments _without_ your
model, as it will take time enough anyway. Most of the color should come
from the plane, the heigh field is in fact in a dark gray, transparent
colour.
Beware: Transparent heightfields and radiosity renderings make for _VERY_
long rendering times. Don't try radiosity until you are completely happy
with the scene.
Something that is very difficult to generate is a wake after the ship, so
you'd better render a scene where it's natural for the ship to be still.

The HeightField.tga is produced with the following file, "HeightField.pov" -
make sure you set POVRay to generate a .tga file.

#include "colors.inc"
global_settings {
assumed_gamma 2.2
hf_gray_16
}
camera {

color_map {

[1 White]
}
}
}
light_source { <0, 20, -100> color White }
-----------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't find my 'Regina Maersk' .pov files, where the water colour is
much better :-(
As a side note, I've used the same height field to represent a snowy
landscape in one of my 'Christmas cards', and mountains (with other scaling
factors).
