Making Waterfalls in WorldBuilder 4 - Page 5

Now that we've created interactive waves, and adjusted our Settings, let's enable another property for our waterfall. This property will create vaporous emanations around our wave zone.

Make sure the Splashes property is set to ON (right-click to uncheck Disable).

In the Property Page, leave the Probability and Live Time parameters at their default settings. We do, however, want to change the Start and Final values for Size, Opacity and Height. If we use these defaults, our render times will increase dramatically and our waterfall will be obscured by the splashes.

Set Size: Start to 1, and Size: Final to 4.

Set Opacity: Start to 0.2.

Set Height: Final to 4.

Let's re-render the scene with Splashes. If your scene doesn't look quite like the rendered image shown here, download and open the zipped sample file Waterfall_End.awb. If you want to see the waterfall in motion, download and open the zipped file Waterfall.avi. This concludes our Waterfalls tutorial. Good luck, and happy WorldBuilding!
