Water Fountain

Since getting TGE and TGEA a couple months ago, I've been busy learning Constructor for game content.
Today I figured out how to make a Sphere, cut it in Half, hollow out the Half.. rinse and repeat for teirs of a Water Fountain. After this i experimented with streets, curbs, and making either street or curb rounded.
Now that i have a decent looking Water Fountain, I placed it into TGE and then TGEA and did a full relight to see my work.
Is there anyone among the Devs here that have done a flowing water fountain and perhaps wouldn't mind sharing some knowledge?
I was thinking of using a translucent material and particle emitter for the effect but really curious if a waterblock would give better results. Haven't tested either one. Too much fun in constructor right now but any input at all would be greatly appreciated.

Also agree about the waterblock being well.. a block, somthing we cannot shape.
Thank you for advice =)

You are quite welcome. Using an ifl, you can make your shape any way you want. :)Good luck, and Please post a screenshot when it's done.

What I did was to make an 8 sided cylendar and apply a water texture with a transperancy layer added.
I used an IFL (image file list) to animate it, and put a particle emmitter at the very top.
That may give you some ideas.
