How do I make a water effect with gmax? I'm getting VERY VERY frusterated because I can't find out how. I've been on goolg efor almost an hour looking.

Thanks

Water is done in Sapien, though I don't know how it is done.

You make a plane and apply a water shader and material ID. It should say in the HEK tutorial... in fact it does, just for 3DS, although I'm pretty sure it's the same process.

I don't have HEK, I don't mod CE, how can I get a copy of this tutorial?

Are you trying to get water in Halo CE, or just water in gmax?

This is not for Halo...it's for a scene he's doing. Don't bump the topic asking for help when the topic has nothing to do with what you need.
