I need the most realistic water that u can do in hammer

[henri22]

Hi,
I'm doing a waterfall and I really need a very realistic water. Right now I have made a water using some brushes and on top I have applied the water texture. I have put two cubemaps around it and func_water_lod. This does not make the water very real. when u pass through water, its empty, u dont see like what you would see if u went through water. its very unrealistic. Can someone please help me to make the water very real and like its falling cuz right now the one that i have looks like its walking.

Maybe its the brush your using or very unlikely your graphics card. I know my water looks much better than in your pics and all I did was select the water_nature texture or something like that, I don't remember what the name was though. I guess you should just try experementing with different textures.

P.S. I like your waterfall idea!

waterfalls are done pretty much the same way as in hl1, with animated textures. there's 1 already done if you look for water in ur texture box.
