Look at "deep water animation and rendering", a
gamasutra article on this
http://www.gamasutra.com/gdce/2001/jensen/jensen_01.htm
Also have a look at "Simulating Ocean Water", a 2001 SIGGRAPH course
notes. If you are rendering on a PC then you may want to look at the
NVidia and ATI developer sites. They have some sample code with shaders
that runs really fast and looks really good. You need good hardware
acceleration for all the above techniques.
