Hi,

Is there anyway that i can use the old methods of creating the water (6.3) in 6.5? As, I'm really stuggeling to understand how to create the water... It seems to be very hard? Huh

So is there a 'cheat' way? I sure hope so... Undecided

it's not complicated and the "Howto" topic is very clear  Smiley

but you can have a look on Zaknafein's blog for the water

or have a look to the very nice Ocean shader from Nvidia working very well in the ModelView TV3D65 tool, explained here with pics and source.

Ummm.... Not very good (On my dev machine, my other is quite good) (Its a laptop):

          Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU      T2450  @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs)
             Memory: 1014MB RAM
        Chip type: Intel(R) GMA 950

Yeah, that 20 fps it most likely because of that on-board Intel 950 video chipset, on-board video is not so good Sad Your CPU isn't bad though, that's a plus Smiley

Yep... your Graphic card (or chipset) is not suited for 3D applications.

Yes, I'm double posting, I know, I have another related question...

1. Is there anyway to make the rain appear the same way? Also, how can you apply transperency to an image, eg for the rain?

you could use a Particle system for the rain, take a look on Particle Editor.
for the transparency of a mesh, use TVmaterial.SetOpacity or SetAlphaBlending , for an image, use DDS textures.
