Well, isn't that a bit hard? and another idea, Paul. If you want currents... Why not simulate a round world... where if you reach one edge you pop up on the other side Why not copy the awesome design we have now (Earth) jkz. But, Paul didn't your plan include dynamic water... where if you built a damn, the water would find another way to go?

Dams would effect flowing water... ie: the rivers/streams between bodies of water.  If you put a dam in a body of water then it doesn't really do anything but sit there.

@Moonkey, it's not me making the submarines... it would be the players.  I do plan to determine if objects are water tight because I'd like ships to sink if they have holes in the bottom... I'm not sure I'll  be able to do it, though.

Maybe, maybe not. Dams would be nice... Maybe when you have water-falls, have a splash effect when it goes down? Like a mist effect? (Mass effect ). From what that demo (IF YOU PLAYED IT) shows, there IS blocky water. Are you planning to do what was in that tech demo of arcane worlds?

Waterfalls will splash... at least that's the idea.  If you plop a large object under a waterfall then it should divert.

A waterfall is designed to be treated like a horizontal jet of water.  The force of the jet being determined by the current flowing into it.  The physics engine will be used to roughly determine where the water would "fly" and map out the cascading.

The arcane thingy demo video looked like the water was gridded in x,y space but otherwise was using some kind of isometric surfacing.  I don't remember seeing a case where a blob of water was floating in the air... which may indicate that the water is just a grid of water heights that are then turned into a nice smooth mesh.  Mythruna water won't work that way.  I'd like to be able to support jets of water shooting straight into the air.

Also if you opened the hatch in a sub under-water would it fill the inside and sink? That would be cool for pirate ship fights.

IMO, that would be necessary for pirate ship fights.
