I have a thought that It's impossible

[igloop]

I am needing to create an ocean world for my game, at least a couple miles big. I have seen water in Unreal games and it doesn't have the right look for the open sea. I am not concerned with the look of under water just the surface concerns me. You know, the average mildly windy mid ocean day, with crisp one and a half foot high wave crests here and there, not too shiny or soft looking. I am just a beginner, but I've got skill. Please show me the way oh programming masters.

The other thing I was wanting to do, was have volumetric dynamic water physics but has a feeling this is way not possible. I threw the idea out a while back, but I know it's gonna seriously bother me if I don't at least give it a trying, so can anyone suggest some cheap tricks to make it appear like my game has cool water physics?

To simulate a ship's movement over an ocean swell, perhaps use a car skeleton (with invisible wheels) and tweak the spring settings.

Apart from that, not sure.

Haha, thanks for the help, but no boats in this particular part of the game, though I will need to put a speedboat in at some point.
