How do the pro's simulate water with TS?  I have scene which
requires water movement (ripples) in a lake.  What I have done
is rescaled a fractal wave patch (generated w/ Terrain) and
attached it to a very small circular path.   The result looks
like water moving in a bowl.    Now if I was on Sculpt, I'd
attached certain points to multiple paths for a more random
effect, but unfortunately, my animation requires e
texture mapping and TS does has no path motion at the vertex
level.

Any help?  I only got 25Mhz 8882 so it's taking me 8 hours
per anim.
