Water Flow

[TheWhiteWolf]

So, I have this idea about creating a dynamic rivers and waterfalls which are actially made of a large number of units which are constantly moving.

However, I at least need an idea of what to make, if someone else doesn't want to make it for me.

In general, it should be kind of a missile with lots of particles.

All ideas are welcome

Use water elemental missile as dummy model. XD

Won't that cause massive lag? 20 missiles in a screen already cause a drop in fps (for my comp), so if you are using that on rivers..

I am actually trying to design a model which can (when several instances of the model are put together) look like a constant, solid flow of water, and can also be spammed in the screen, without causing lag. The width would probably count 5 units, and length a lot more than that.

Water Elemental missile was my first guess, but it just looked ugly.

I think it should have low or no poly, and particle emmiters with low emition count, but large particles. And I guess a fitting ribbon emmiter should help a lot.
