This replaces the ripple effect seen in rivers, lakes and pools when it rains. I didn't feel that the vanilla ripples looked like they were being caused by the rain. So, I added a couple more textures to the effect to make the water look more busy when it rained. I now think it looks more like it is being reacted upon by the drops.
The image doesn't do the effect any justice as it is meant to be viewed in action.

Available in x256, x512 (Vanilla/RW2), x1024 and x2048 sized textures.

COMPATIBILITY:
This is not compatible with other mods which change this mesh or the ripple texture.

Install after water mods, e.g. Realistic Water 2 and WATER and overwrite when asked.

UPDATE HISTORY:
version 1.0: initial release.
version 2.0: Updated all textures and gradient. I noticed a few things in the video by Madchieften (many thanks) which I didn't like. Now the ripples look more natural and appear more random when displayed.


Thanks to Madchieften for this brilliant video of v1.0


Many thanks to ShawnDriscoll for this fantastic video of v2.0
