Waves using the Water Surface Object

I was just experimenting with this object and found it very intresting to use, and I am sure everyone else will find intrest in it too! It makes the black and white waves becuse of the high strength. I you want the waves to look more natural, change the strength of the waves in the evnts that creates them to a lower number. BTW what framerate does it give with and without HWA? Without HWA, on my main computer it's 20-25 FPS, wheras on my Vista it's about 100-170FPS. It'd be intresting to know how this performs on various platforms.

210-230FPS on my Vista 64bit laptop. Cool effect.

Nice effect, I remember with this the dev said it was designed for the normal version of MMF (non HWA). On XP with both normal and HWA i get around 90FPS, 50% cpu in edrt.exe. It's a very nice object but it has fairly high cpu and not designed for HWA as far as i know so im guessing it wouldn't make a huge difference.
