KIND: WATER2
Default location: C:\Program Files\Auran\TRS2004\World\Custom\Environment\
Note: New animated water in Trainz (kind water2) supercedes previous UTC water (kind water).
Therefore kind water is no longer supported by Trainz.
Where a map refers to an old kind water asset it will automatically be updated to one of the new animated water assets.
Essentially the new water system comprises of an animated, bump-mapped, transparent surface. The animation variables are controlled through the water. anim.txt. The tile size and material properties are controlled though the water.config.txt file (following page).
The following example is of Calm Water. Choppy, Glassy and Rough water are described in the following sections.

Bump-mapping requires special settings and naming conventions in 3dsmax. Refer to Page 355 and the following download for information: http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/downloads/contentcreation/TRS_Max4_Plugin_Bump.zip
