Yes, Smooth Terrain is a great improvement, and yes, the Water in nice.
- Great texture animation
- Awesome reflections
However, I still find myself wanting some more out of it. Here I'll list off a few specific ideas I had on what can make Water better for developers.
- "Flow" direction and speed: As it is now, locked to the positive Z direction, making good looking rivers and such. If we were able to change the direction and speed/intensity of the flow animation of arbitrary regions of terrain water, we could make waterfalls that actually fall, river rapids that rush down stream, etc.
- Transparency and Tint: In my opinion, the surface of the terrain water is just a bit too opaque most of the time. Developers should, again, have control over the level of transparency that arbitrary regions of water have. In addition, a property for a water tint color would be useful for dirty or otherwise non-clear water regions.
Thank you for reading these ideas. Please feel free to add your own suggestions for making terrain water better.

Support, I tried making a river but the water doesn't like any surface that isn't 100% flat. |
