I am working on a sim game (in almost real time). There is a view that draws islands in an ocean. What I want to do is add some waves or whitecaps to the ocean to give the game some more eye candy. The view is zoomed way out so the waves don''t need to be very detailed. I don''t need anything hard core or super realistic, I''m basically looking for a simple way of simulating some waves in a solid blue ocean. I looked for some tutorials but didn''t find anything relevant. I was thinking of randomly drawing blobs of darker and lighter blue (using a heightmap?) over the ocean before I render the islands.
