I have just completed a fun little afternoon project. I have long been looking for what an ocean on mars would look like for different amounts of water - preferably with a movie for many different ocean heights. So after not finding it ever, I did it myself today:

Nice. Now if you really want to impress us, project it on a rotating globe

If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Well - if you take your idea and create a specular map and a texture map with a less saturated blue you would have quite a convincing effect on something like Celestia. It would be quite a challenge (I think) to animate but you could have a selection of alternate textures.
like Don Edwards is doing in this Celestia discussion
