I had a thought the other day about creating a whirlpool effect using the crater shader in some water. It looked ok-ish but needed the whirling water effect. I remembered someone creating a whirling cloud effect and tried using that but couldn't get it to work so have given up for the time being. Maybe someone else might like the challenge ?
Well you could try a warp shader, or just apply an imagefile for displacment.

Hmm a warp shader - don't think I've tried one of those - I'll have to try it out !
Thanks
warp shader doesnt work...I tried already (unless I am doing something wrong which most likely I might be)
@Will have you tried warp shader before....according to my play around, I found out that its not what you are thinking it is...it doesnt give that warping effect :-\
I have used it a little bit, it was more of a suggestion then an acual fact. innovative way of using these shaders are develped each day and just trying to help him along.

yes I understand....and please dont take it personally.....I am not going against your suggestion or help...
no no its cool, I'm definatly not the definitiv resouce on these thing, i'm still learning new stuff everyday just like everyone else. In fact I should apologize, I didn't mean to imply that I was insulted.

If you take the same noise function used for the "swirling cloud" effect and apply it to water you'd probably get close to what you want.
