wow your rapids goes better and better, i really love the foam as it seems to get a "fake" motion blur and therefore really realistic, congrats as always

Just found a solution for the water's edges on a slope, so it'll be part of the package if I can fit it in with the rest.

I did some more rivers, not all successful, but trying to get it right. The angled zero distribution isn't (so far) usable for this. I wish there was a way to get the altitude of the final water and transfer that info to the land as a height mask. There must be! Back to work now...

Looking great Dune...I just wish we could get water flowing down hill, but that seems to be a holy grail of landscape programs that's still being chased .  ..   ...

Well, these are running downhill, but you have to carve out the river by hand. Unfortunately it doesn't just follow the lowest areas... I wish it was that easy...

great rapids!
what about a little 'dipper' for a close up?
