Hey all
Been trying to figure this out on my own... Well, we see how that worked out...
Same course, same water. (06 Bigs Water)
My course does have a few lakes and ponds... Maybe too much? Point count is low on all.. (and flat) :)
Any help?
Thanks
Rob |

| I think you'd be best off using stock water textures. |

No luck there,
I switched all the water textures to Eastlake, but still same result.
Its only the one pond.... $!#@$!#...
Could it be something I did while creating it to cause this?
Anyone else ever see this with just one of several pcs of water? |

I have had it happen to me once in a while, and I'm not sure exactly what can fix it, but I have been successful
in doing one of a couple of things.
Select the water USE AS SHAPE and smooth it one time on minimum. Then make sure it is still completely flat.
Then try that.
If that doesn't work, then Flatten the area Along Contour and resape the pond a little bit.
Sometimes, if you had to flatten the entire area including the slope, and you make the slope a different angle and depth, this will work also.
Stick with the stock water it is the best, and see if your other lakes and ponds are reflecting.
If this doesn't work, then just flatten and make a differently designed pond.
I guarentee, one of these three methods will work.
Outtttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Well....Bummer...
Tried everything you suggested axe, and still... no luck
I even deleted all the textures,and reworked the terrain, and started over in the same spot...
Still no reflection...
All other ponds have reflection, I even made another one pretty close to it, and it is fine..
Could it just be this particular spot for some reason?
Guess I'll just make it a big bunker...@#%@ really wanted a pond there... :(
Thanks |

Give this one more try before you give up.
After you flatten the water+the slope, try making the slope not as steep as before. Also try maken the pond a different shape.
Stick with it, it has to work.
But just in case all fails, then yes, go ahead and make it a waste area.
Hope this helps

An interesting experiment would be to join it with the nearby pond, IE a shape like a pair of specs with the bridge being the stream joining them, so really one very awkward shape. It would be interesting to see if they both reflected or none of them did.

Well, I tried your suggestion axe... even built another pond beside it..NO reflection on that one either.
I am beginning to think that I screwed up that section of the course somehow (maybe thats a stretch, but ??)
Maybe too much trial and error with elevation? Maybe using the Course Wizard to set up the layout? (heard thats not a good idea)
It's really aggravating.... i really wanted a pond there... (wwwaaaaaahhhh) :)
Thanks for all the suggestions

| One more possible fix... optimize the detail in the pond or try the repair course feature. |

Thanks Bobby,
I tried optimizing the water itself, the outer shape with children, even make another shape around it during the remake and optimized that..maybe too much, would that explain it..?
Curious thing... the course repair tool is something I use regularly, usually finds something, but after making this pond it seems to find a lot of invalid points.. sometimes 90+... |

| Do you check the option to "generate reflections" when compiling? I get much better water when I leave this unchecked. |
