ok, the winner of the Map/Island layout poll, is JFT! so... now that that's settled, perhaps we should try to decide what objects/Areas are where, and how they will look. (for example, how will we build the Waterfall? where does the water come from? is it Big, or small,) first of all, here's how I Imagine the waterfall. u see, all the water is pumped up, using those pumps, (which pump water up from the lake) and it's all in a sort of brick "container," or Dike of sorts. It keeps the water in, until it reaches the lip of the wall that's lower, and it drains down into the pond. then so that the water doesn't overflow, small streams lead from the Pond, to the Swamp, and off the island. anyway, thats how i picture it. What do u guys think?

The wood is an altered form of a texture from this website http://www.cgtextures.com/.

Today I made a simple model to show off my waterfall idea.

Tell me what you think JFT and Justin.

That's the kind of thing I had in mind too, that that area of the island was simply lower than the rest rather than there being some sort of machine to create a waterfall. I like that better, especially because our native who ended up there could have added a water wheel or something to take advantage of the power source from the falling water.

I have the 3d model of the water layout with some extra stuff not in the pic.

Justin and Kyashii, these are gorgeous ideas! Glass coloured leaves, how pretty. I'm enjoying to see the modelling work of Lontahv too. You guys are great.
