A. Look here

Particles might give you the best effect...


b. In order to have real-time reflections on your water, you'll probably have to get a TSE license. I didn't find anything for TGE in a cursory search.

Speaking of search, give it a try. You'll find many resources that can assist you in your endeavors.

Hello,

One option for getting reflections on water is to fake it somewhat. I've seen mirrored .DIF interiors that look very nice in some settings. It's certainly no replacement for fully 'shadered' water, though.

Also, for your waterfalls, you could use .DTS shapes with .IFL cyclic textures. Particles would work too though. :)
