Hello all,

    Has anyone tried to create a large sphere that uses a realistic
water look.
    I am trying to create a world that is covered with water, but all my
attempts have been far from perfect.
    The planet is a sphere 7000 units in diameter, with a scale of 1
unit per kilometer.
    One attempt looked good from afar, but from "ground" level, was a
disaster.

    Basically what I am trying to do is a scene based on the Arthur C
Clarke novel, Songs Of Distant Earth, which features a planet in the
early stages of developement, is almost all covered with water except
for a small archipelago where the story takes place.

    I have scaled the scene big, so that I can bring the camera down to
ground level to view the islands and, hence the need for a realistic
ocean.

    If you can help, thank you in advance.
