Reflection on Rippling Water Examples
Here are two examples of reflecting objects in water. In the first preset the ripples on the water are static. In the second preset the ripples are animated.

Anything you put in the first effect list of either preset will be reflected in the water. For this example I've just thrown in one of my tentacles which is eating imaginary insects off the water's surface. In the second preset I added a moon as well.

I thought this was a fun and fairly simple effect that someone else might have fun with. Feel free to use the code in any way you please.

I removed an unneccessary Effect List from the second preset.

Have you seen zevensofts preset ocean4? It was included in the community picks pack a while ago - it uses animated relections and looks awesome!
