World Position Offset: Animated Directional Waves?
polycounter lvl 17
I haven't been able to figure out how to get an animated wave to move across my mesh.
I can get displacement but I can't figure out how to pan anything to make it appear as if the waves are travelling across the surface of the water.
Right now what I have is the panning of the water normal textures moving at the same angle as the variations I've painted in and while it looks good from above, as you get down and look out across the water the effect breaks down and you can see it's just the same verts going up and down.

Search the forums here and watch Emar's videos, he does some explaining on the subject.
I also do a more detailed explanation for my lava tutorial on 3dmotive (I believe it's chapter 6).
