Hey guys,

Wondering how Valve's boys did this:

I have been searching the net and through the ents and so on in the SDK and cant find anything remotly like it. Anyone know how they got this waterfall effect?

It's probably a particle, i don't know how those work in Episode 2 because they don't have them in source.

I'm certain that is a particle effect. They are pretty easy to use.
I don't think there are any tutorials on it here on TWHL, but I know there are some quite good ones a few googles away

We need a tutorial for particle effects here, even a brief one. At least that's my opinion.

I know it would help me
