Question

Rivers or Lakes or Pools or Ocean in Horizon - best practices?

How would you recommend creating rivers and other bodies of water in Horizon?

- What's the best way to create the look of flowing water?

- How to create buckets of water so the bucket looks like water? 

 

Typically on Second Life, I'd just use an animated texture on a rectangular prism, wedged under terrain.

While we don't currently have animated textures in Worlds, a common trick is to have planes with different levels of transparency moving back and forth overtime, simulating waves or water flowing.
