How do you achieve caustic effects in DBPro? I.e. a submarine is under water and the refracted light from the water's suface ripples are seen on the sea floor and the top of the submarine.

Shaders maybe? I'm not entirely sure if it is possible to do this in DBPRO, as it probably requires quite a powerful graphics renderer.

I'd use this caustics generator program to make the images for the sea floor. So basically once every loop your changing the image textured on the sea floor surface, you might already have a grass, gravel or rocky texture for the sea floor and you can use the caustic images generated by this program as a secondary texture.

Not sure how you would get it on the submarine though...

Texture maker has a caustics generator...you can make a seemless texture. Like the ones in bf1942.
