Of course that looks nice, but it also requires a compatible card. Personally I still have a card that has no dx9 capable shaders. I bet your app would crash on my machine, or at least refuse to run.
As long as graphics are not a compensation for the lack of gameplay it's ok. I'd rather play a game with a cool gameplay and imperfect water fx than the opposite.
halo - it would be a serious waste of performence to use a mesh. But when you use a terrain, it's easily possible in DX7.
Maybe the sequel of Blitz3D for DX7 will be Max3D for DX9.
