How to create water ?

I want to make some kind of a fountain. How can i do that?


I did a little bit of a search, but all i have found was this topic wich ends, with the conclusion to buy a book and find out, how to make a water. Or this topic wich ends with some Rock tool, and does not explains, how to make a water.

You can make decent pool with water in it with AC, but don't rely on it for fountains!

thanks for the tips both of you.
Ingolf, the fountain is beautiful.

Kliment, it seems the default pool that goes with the Archicad 12 has, uses one of tho water materials from the Materials section. I am not impressed with both of those waters.

Is there any way i could make a water (this time without the fountain, just water) to look better? A better water texture? Wich one? Or some trick maybe?

The easiest way to make water, in any rendering application, is this: make a new material, make it 80-90% transparent, add reflection and add bump. There it is!

Or just apply bump to a glass material!
