   This is a neat looking effect! Maybe you could add a small plane where the water is with an extremely translucent yet very reflective texture, to emulate the water's shine.
   
   Other than that, looks great! I'd love to implement something like this in a mod.

      Thanks, That's a cool idea. I'm going to try it right away !
      It will probably be a resource so you'll be able to use it if you want
      
      By the way, I have a question. I know one of your specialities is making skies and I would like to know if it's possible to have an alpha or something like that for the clouds. to have the sunshafts working with it. Do you think it's possible ?

      Clouds do have alpha, at least clouds like the ones that appear on partly cloudy, or clear weathers. As for sunshafts, the shader isn't made to react to clouds. I remember Phal was working on it back when he was still developing the shader, but that version of the shader never got released, and I haven't seen anyone else try to recreate his work either. A shame really, sunshafts through clouds would look fantastic.

      I see, thank for the quick answer ! Yes that's too bad, It would had look really awesome. Maybe one day someone will do it. I wonder how difficult it is to learn how to make shaders !

   Creative! This is a very cool idea for an effect, Lougian! What are planning to use it for?
   
   Are the rocks a different texture from the puddle itself? Or have you saved the layered image file so that people could change the color of the rocks to match different environments.

      Thanks ! I don't know yet, I'll probably upload it as a resource !
      
      Yes, people will able to put there own texture under the puddle to match their game.

   It looks great from the thumbnail picture though the second image makes it look slightly elevated, maybe it's the angle or the way the rocks converge on the puddle. Not sure why but it is noticeable.
