Sorry, my language wasn't too clear on that one.  I want to texture the
inside of a box (minus one side, call it the top, through which the camera
will be looking) with a water-like surface (ripples, wrinkles, whatever).
The texture (or hieght field, or bump map, or whatever I use) needs to
appear like one unified surface over the surface area of the boxes
sides (as if it were UV mapped)  Does that make any sense?  It's a very
simple idea, I'm just having a hard time describing it.
