Great stuff Solo,thanks for sharing.

Been trying to download the file from the link, but it seems to automatically remove the zip extension and then says that it is not a SU file...?
How embarrassing...

Same problem here

You need to read just above the dowload:

Remember to remove the .skp and unzip attachment.

At the time (more than two years ago), it was not possible to post a .zip file, so it needed to be disguised as a .skp file.

In Explorer, open up Folder Options
then go to the View tab,
then untick "Hide extensions for known file types"

Then you can rename "water_test.zip.skp" to "water_test.zip" and unzip it.

I think you may have something there. Things like water, paving, grass, ground cover are all usually the weak spots especially in renderings, maybe down the line you could develop the rendering weakspots.

On the mac highlite "water_test.zip.skp" by double clicking on it and delete the ".skp"
(like I should have done before my earlier post) a dialogue box will come up confirming your choice.

I agree , average guy out there wants minimum effort with maximum possible results, minimal learning curve ,SketchUp is there for modeling but still there are weak spots in getting this final output right when rendering and post process is in question. I think there is a great potential market here.

how did you make it solo? what method did you use to create the ripples? I'm sure everyone would be interested to know!
