Just wanted to show what I came up with for water using Mysty Moods. And say thanks to the makers because it has really improved my water.

The environment looks awsome, but the water seems to be the weakest part of the scene on the screenshot... .
(I am allowed to say that, since I am responsible for the water )
But I am glad that you like it

I do agree with slin.
Maybe you could add some (at least one) layer underneath the water surface to give it some more depth?
Or change the texture of that hill (in the front of the screenshot) when it hits the water.

your right of course, i just happy to ahve some working water finnally. As far as the hill texture goes, I havnt finished mapping out the base of the hill yet. I do the vegetation first, and then decide what needs to be grass sand etc. I luv the water in Mysty Moods, and I plan on tweaking out to look perfect, I promise

I commented exactly what Xarthor said. If you do that, maybe add a little dirt to the terrain where water meets and another flat model underneath the water with like 60% transparency, to give it depth, it would look amazing (even more than it does now).

Looking good.

So whats the FPS like using this tool?

A trick I like to use is to create a model following the contours of the water line and place under the water (inverted model with upper surface facing up)and set its transparency to a value to give the depth I'm looking for and layer in animated fog sprites or models, maybe you could try something like that too.

I reckon the water looks quite good but the environment does even look better, especially with the fog effect
I assume the water could have looked better if the picture was positioned from a different angle

I don't have any slow down with it.

do not EVER use a shoreline anywhere but the sea.

in real life, there is no shoreline except at the sea. onyl if the wind blows really hard, you have a little shoreline. a wild river of course has one aswell, but a lake never has a shoreline, especially not such a huge one...

in life yes there is no shorline, but I like the effect so I think I'll leave it in. I'm not trying to achieve realism or I would definately take it out
