When you finish that would you mind posting it? I might have a use for it.

Space platform cliff doodad medium, pretty much.

Alright thanks. Looks very nice I'll have good use for this.

Those rapids look awesome!

The transition from cliff-to-water on the left side of the waterfall could use some work though. Looks a bit empty compared to the central rocks.

I love it. It's a combination we haven't seen a lot before either - good thinking. Main points of improvement, I think, would be the jungle from screenshot one and the area around the waterfall; that could do with some outreaching Rock (Tower) (-like) doodads.

Will be curious to see your updates. Another thought; your river is actually too clean. It's a bit of a style change, but... bear with me - while it looks decent the way it it, remember for a second what a river is. Water flowing downwards. What happens when water flows downwards? Exactly: it drags along anything in its path not properly attached. In a jungle environment and especially near a waterfall where the river is small and fast flowing, this means there should be debris, roots, trees and dead vines all over, in and around the river. If possible overhanging canopy could be added as well (and I think this'd look really good), though your own style of keeping that specific area rocky and tree-less works as well.

The cliff looks a lot more better now.

As for the 'dirty' issue...

The water underneath waterfalls usually tend to have more clarity since the water is calmer, so you can partially see the rock bed at the bottom. Either increase the height of the ground or adjust the alpha settings. Increasing the caustics of the water and changing the direction of the flow wouldn't hurt either.

Pretty much something like this:

Another suggestion for a deep chasm river like that: Think about the silhouette of your near shore.

It will add a lot of depth if you have properly placed doodads sticking up in front of the river to break up the outline of your southern cliff. The plants in the lower left corner of the more recent screenshots are a good small-scale example, but it needs something bigger closer to the waterfall.

Essentially, yes. But it works better with something that has a more pronounced outline. Stronger negative space. (Or just leafy tree-tops, depending on the scene.)
