[TEC] Old, but still unsolved: New Crew Models / Water shaders

As Hansolo78 is recreating his wonderful Megamod WAC to Version 5.0 the topic "3D Crew" came up again. I see here some amazing new mod stuff arriving in this forum in 2015. Some new talents are at work.

So i want to ask the crowd: Any chance, we get new crew models into the game?

3D Crew

I think, one might could use the 3D crew models of SH4 or SH5. But they cant just be replaced (i guess) it must be rigged to the animations in SH3. Other way would be complete new rigging. So far nothing toxic for 3D Experts. BUT: The animations are hardcoded. Some Modders managed to add new crew members with animations in SH3. So there must be already some knowledge about the mechanic. But its all about Hex-Editing and needs much expertise in code-structures. And time.

Water

Another topic i bite off my teeth in was better looking water reflections. The existing shaders are not suitable for more real looking water. So here also some coder talent might have a look in, how to get new shaders on the water.

What do you think and who could or would make a try in this?
