How to make a realistic animated ocean.

This is the end result of my experiment with trying to create a natural looking ocean.

The ocean is made up of 3 animated (50 frames) bumpmaps at 512x512 pixels each. I continuous change their mutual relationship so I don't create a pattern. Also, they are mapped at different sizes on the grid witch make the ocean. That makes it possible for me to create both big, medium and small waves.
