I'm working on a project where I would like to show a small creek and need some advice as I've only done pool water where I just did a simple plane with a mxm from the gallery.

A creek would have some areas where you see ripples and other parts more smooth. I've seen some GREAT examples of how to do that kind of thing right, like here (http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... f=7&t=9831). Do I just use a simple plane with a great map with maybe displacement, or ??? If the latter, any suggestions of where to find such texture maps?

Thanks in advance, Joe

anyone

No need to use displacement, bump map will do the job just fine.
Just be careful with the values - don't push them too high.
