Detailed Description

A water volume defined by a 3D spline.

User may control width and depth per node and overall spline shape in three dimensions.

River supports dynamic planar reflections (fullReflect) like all WaterObject classes, but keep in mind it is not necessarily a planar surface. For best visual quality a River should be less reflective the more it twists and bends. This caution only applies to Rivers with fullReflect on.

See also:

WaterObject for inherited functionality.
