| This is probably better done in a 3D app (and/or realflow, as mentioned). I didn't look at the article Jim Feeley posted, but compositing in some sort of stock footage is probably your best option if you want to do it in AE. Pretty much all of the 'water' options in AE (and Psunami) rely on 2D displacement maps. You're not going to get a cresting/breaking wave with a 2D displacement map. You can push a 3D mesh up or down, but you can't push the polygons up and then over, which is what you would need for a cresting wave. (much less have the mesh bend over and recombine with itself as you would need for a breaking wave) And then you have to figure out how to do foam, which is a whole different can of worms (but easier to fake than a cresting wave).

I have it but oddly enough I can't seem to generate a "Tsunami". I need to cover the earth with a giant wave and so it needs to be a sphere. Any ideas?
