I just yesterday found a tutorial on how to make transparent water, I made it according to what I think looks best and it looked great! but after I computed the vertex solve... I had a rather large problem with the water.

I think this is because it can't shade on something transparent... but what do I know?
help please!

Using Compute Vertex Solve with water usually messes it up by making it extremely bright, but I've never seen it like that before. If you plan to put it in a map, just export the water as a separate W3D and add it in your level in LevelEdit after you use Compute Vertex Solve. That's how I've gone around it.
