Which object/effects would I use to create waterfall?

I am thinking spline-based object with slight transparency.

Thanks

one possibility for the geometry would be to use a blob
object with a larger number of semi-random components.

As regards the water itself, you should usually do it
almost fully transparent: its appearance is mostly dominated
by refraction and reflection (especially sky is important here,
as well as some surface structure, typically normals). However,
or areas with foam something whitish and not too transparent
is probably better.

I think you can get away with using simple geometry and a good looking texture
for more distant views.  For closer shots, I would also think about making
heavy use of scattering media for the foam and spray.


I think I might have to try making a water fall.
