Hi Matthias, Thanks. I have had a play with your suggestion but not managed to get any convincing results.
Can't help thinking a procedural texture generation programme could provide an animation sequence that resembles waves and use for bump mapping with displacement in Realsoft. Otherwise trying to mimic irregular wave motion via vsl could take me weeks :/ Any procedural generators that could be recommended are welcome. Am currently trying a demo of Genetica, but it is not worth $500 for this solution.

I'm not in front of RS, I don't know what noise patterns are available via VSL... but the above should do the trick.
