So Ive discovered the 'show shapes' in Maya and Ive applied a Material and the sea renders,
but how do I get it to animate over time? it stands still now.
thanks

Maya 2016 has a bug which breaks the animation of the sea (plug-in nodes cannot have attributes driven by expressions or keys, so the time attribute on the sea node doesn't update properly). For the sea object, you can work around the bug by disconnecting the "reference time" attribute on the sea node (right click on it in the attribute editor and select "break connection"). I will change the plug-in so that in Maya 2016 it skips creating the expression which drives that attribute with the current time, until Autodesk fixes this appalling bug.
If you're not on Maya 2016 and still experience problems, please provide more details about your scene set-up.
