• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I was thinking of how to make a pool on a rooftop.I tried a polygon with water anotation but I couldn't move it vertically. Quick scan through the SDK doc didn't return any useful info yet. Maybe materials?
Has anyone accomplished water placement anywhere besides on ground? How did you do it?
 
The water shader (the one that creates waves..) is available on terrain only

I would go all 3d, using a cyan texture with roughness near zero and a rippled normal texture to fake the waves (maybe with an animation duplicating the water planes and moving them slightly up and down if your really need something like water)



(The other option is using terraforming to elevate terrain Near the rooftop , and hiding the creepy hill with the building, not really worth imho, a pool doesn't have big waves anyway)

Awesome, I think modelling will work best for me. Thanks mamu!
 
I like a semi transparent parallax look with about three stages of wind driven roughness and the pool itself knife edge style encased in lucite such that the lights synchronized to music shine through it.

Don't forget the free standing waterfall:
