Enable the ability to align the orientation of the plane or water primitives to the current camera view.  So, whatever the camera view is, the plane or water would appear horizontal.  When enabled, there would be a 'pitch' slider allowing to set the 'slope' of the plane towards or away from the camera.

I have the following scene, for which I'd like to set a water plane somewhere towards the bottom of the image, but I've had a very hard time trying to work out how to set the orientation of the water so it actually displays as I'd expect :

have added this request at github. I also find it difficult to align. I think I often use  the global parameters tab - x y & z axis rotations for this. ie align fractal to the water

These enhancements requests may take a few months to action, as the main focus currently on implementing openCL GPU rendering.

I had a short amount of time playing with the OpenCL Alpha 4 release before heading on holidays.

Given the absolutely massive speed increases, I'm absolutely fine with it taking priority.

On a related note, I have 2 x GTX970 in SLI, and would be happy to help out with testing once work is underway on support of multiple GPU setups.
