        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?
          Cheers Bill.

              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.

                      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
