That is a good point about working on the highlights. I did not want to
imply by my message that I though it was hopeless and there was nothing
left that could be done. The opposite is true if anything. Some more work
on the lighting, finish, and color properties and this surface could produce
some amazing looking water. Trying the same object with different scales and
textures I see a lot of potential for this. It would keep me busy for a few
hours playing with it in different settings and conditions. It would make for
a great model of a deflated water bed mattress in it's present form. Perfect
for those who like render floods going through their homes. With a textiles
texture it would make a decent looking blanket on an unmade bed.
