Question: Default water level

[Osirin_Ra]

my map has lots of water in it it takes place at a river with a small tributary that leads to a lake.

now i want the waterlevel to be the same…

should i just make a huge brush that goes about the whole level? Cause i think that would be kinda worthless and whatnot (though making a brush in my terrian is starting to annoy me since my terrain is kind of complex

or should i shape the water brush as small as possible to the “riverbed’s” and line up height accordingly.

I would suggest using a few brushes which roughly follow the riverbed. Be sure to use nodrawwater where they meet. You could use just one massive brush, but it seems to me that could waste a lot of fill rate.

It IS OK to have your water overlap the terrain, so you don’t need to cut your water to exactly match the lines of the river bed.
