Thanks for the Heads Up!

I'm not quiet sure what Aaron is after here. The LSSM
would probably be suited to create some waves
surrounding the islands (using the LSS_Stomp macro)
and waves reflecting off of the island's coasts (with
proper setting for LSS_Environment, though I guess
"inside"-test works fine with heightfields), but
if he's after waves rising in height and crashing onto
the shores (which occurs when waves travel towards
and on top of less and less deeper areas), thats
not possible...

Might still be worth a try though. The waves dissipate
over distance (as you well know, Rune :-), so for a
still, LSS_Stomp could be used to issue some waves
from the coasts, they'll get softer outwards...

Regards,
Tim
