This will explain just how to create stunning water effects such as waterfalls and lakes, wide rivers and also how to create bridges over water. Start with a nice clear area. There should be nothing on the area, including trees or flowers that may be hidden. It's always worth checking first, otherwise it can look very strange when you turn everything on afterwards! |
What you will need:
|
Start by placing the first section. In this demonstration I am building a waterfall, so I start with the top river corner. |
Next, take the dirt path sections and lay them over the river section like this:
Get your next river section ready
Lay it over the first one, stepping it down slightly:
Remove the dirt paths:
Voila! The start of a waterfall! Now carry on, repeating the operation until you have an effective feature!
You can vary this method to create all sorts of features simply by how and where you position the path sections. It doesn't just work on rivers, but almost any item in the store! In this simple howto, I only used 4 dirt path sections, and they are not placed close together, but on other effects you may need a lot more, depending on the complexity of it.
Still confused? Just watch the video below, so you can know how to make it.
