    How were the wave froth effects achieved on the island demo? It looks like a custom mesh, but their appears to be a script attached to it that looks like it might form it to any terrain. Is there a way to do this (attach the waves to any terrain?)

    Both, sort of. It's a custom mesh, but the script makes it conform to the terrain underneath. So you still have to make it in the shape you want, but you don't have to try to make every vertex exactly the right height, which would be a nightmare.

    Would there be a way to do this entirely with scripting?

    Sure...anything you can do, you can do with scripting. The question is how hard would it be. ;)
