Having messed around for weeks trying to make a small stream in vue I was wondering if any one knows any tutorials that show a good way , I have tried using spline tool never looks right or comes to an abrupt end when the terrain rises . Ive tried digging it out in the terrain editor but it allways comes out too wide cant seem to make a very narrow one even when zooming in even tried using a lightening brush from photoshop and made a tiff image , looked perfect as a river system from above top view but nearer ground level looked dreadfull. so far the best method thats worked for me is to create 2 terains and push them together and leave a small gap and then load a water plain but even thats hit and miss and is usually still a bit too wide , more like a river than a stream does everyone have this kind of trouble or is it just me ?

Any help would be much appreciated , I even printed out the whole Vue 10 reference manual over 700 pages and cant seem to find anything , i might add i am trying to create a stream looking along its length so you would see both banks with a stream no more than about 2m wide
