Creating a wave surface using textures

In this recipe, we will create the waves that will wash against the rocks. To make it a little easier, we will base the wave motion on slack water so that we don't have to worry about tide movement. Although we can generate all kinds of weather, we will keep this wave motion relatively calm.

Getting ready
