does anyone know the texture file for water effects because somehow I have water effects (surf pounding shore) and it looks like crap and I'd like to get rid of it...tks mucho!!!

That is under Autogen, actually, I think.

opened autogen but the doc is half a mile long...

What??? Try turning autogen down to 0.

hehe.... oh :)tks

Those are not water efects.try setting in the display tab, the slider named "special efects detail" to low.hope this helps.
