      This is great info guys. I have a waterfall/water slide project that I never finished (client ran out of money ๐Ÿ˜ž). So I am getting inspired ๐Ÿ˜„

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                ๐Ÿ˜ That's fantastic Pete!
                How did you manage to shift that statue from Easter Island into your backyard?

                    Thanks.

                    I could'nt move the statue, so i built the fountain around it. ๐Ÿ˜†

                    alpro, water I generally set at 65%

                      hi pete,

                      thanks for the effort. my favorite is the daylight scene. somehow the night scene looks like a glass slab rather than a sheet of running water.

                      regards.

                        I agree with you, I need to find a different bump for the night effect.

                          Here is my attempt with a smaller fall.

                            I thought this might be a fun challenge. Unfortunately my end product looks like a BBQ gone wild.
                            Could use more 'splash' at the pool.

                              i like it CADrex, altohugh i reckon it could do with a bit less thickness. seems youve got the transparency and texturing pretty spot on thoguh.

                                the fall is small but the pool is just about what i want. thanks.

                                  Thanx. Yeah, the thickness is a bit much. The apparent force of water would probably 'take out' the pool ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
