Description
Again an attempt to feel the possibilities and the limits of Vue.
Mini tutorial in 5 steps:
1 - I have created a terrain (256 x 256) with a basic form of the stream (forming 3 stairs).
2 - Than I have jagged this basic terrain adding more times a series of modifiers (with some effects such: pebbles, plateaus, terraces, cracks, sharpen and so on).
3 - Therefore I have made 2 copies of this terrain slightly moving it on the axis X and Y (the first X = 0.002 and Y = 0.002, the second X = -0.002 and Y = -0.002). This to give greater details to the form of the stream.
4 - The material to be applied to the stream is a simple white shader with the following settings:
transparency = 100%
fading out = 0%
for the first terrain setting as variable transparency a function of noise (smooth) of X=1.20, Y=1.20, Z=1.20 (with transformation = fractal layer).
for the second terrain a function of noise (smooth) of X=3.60, Y=3.60, Z=3.60 (with transformation = fractal layer).
reflections = 12%
lighting: diffuse = 96%, ambient = 0%, luminous = 63%, contrast = 40%
5 - Add, finally, some vegetation around the stream and some rocks that go out of the water.
All made, as usual, only with Vue 4.11
No postwork.
Thanks for viewing and comments.

Fantastic work! thanks for the tutorial.
That is one of the best flowing water scenes I have seen in Vue. Excellent and thanks for the mini tut.
Very good work - and educational as well. I'm really impressed with the waterfall, like the others it's the best stream I've seen so far. Keep pushing the limits, as long as you don't go over the edge (how does one do that, btw). Thanks.

Outstanding work! The water and atmosphere is perfekt
I've tried to do a torrent in a similar manner in the past, but even with post work in two other programs it still didn't look anywhere near as convincing as this! Very well done, and thanks for the detailed settings tips on how it was achieved.
Fantastic waterfall! The details are mindboggling. I'll have to re-read that several times before I get it. Wonderful job.
All I can say is WOW! Thanks very much for the mini Tut (i'm saving it)
My...this is amazing! And thanks very much for the tutorial I keep it ;-)
