Create unique custom Windlight Water presets for yourself or your region using these 10 custom, seamless normal maps. From perfectly flat glass (great for photo effects) to peaceful ripples to a windy day, these normal maps are great for creating original system water effects for bloggers, photographers, and region owners.
Requires knowledge of editing Windlight Water presets in your viewer of choice. The official viewer SL wiki on Windlight presets is here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/WindLight_settings
In Firestorm you can more easily find these settings under the Phototools button.

Normal map examples shown in the reference key are the included Water normal maps applied to the otherwise-unchanged Default water setting. You can create a huge range of effects by also adjusting the various Windlight Water preset settings, like color, opacity, refraction, speed, etc in conjunction with these custom normal maps.
These normal maps are offered full permission; please do not resell individually or as a pack. Feel free to use these in your own personal Water presets or for your region settings, or as part of a freely distributed Windlight XML export.
*** NOTE: These are normal map textures only! These will not work for creating "prim" water or "fake" water for skyboxes, pools, etc unless you have separate water textures. These textures are meant for use on the Normal Map tab only - they are not traditional water-looking textures.

perfect
change your pic from a 2 star to a 10 star pic..
great
great textures but as far as trying to shop for houses it is virtually impossible to find anything in that store and if the item does happen to show in area search, teleporting to it only brings u back to landing point. ive been there 3 times trying to see certain houses and am never able to find them and last time flew over to ba and got one there.
a blessing!
so so so grateful to have found these! the only pack like it I have found anywhere on marketplace! and for free, too! a true gem
Thank you ♥
Just now having tested them out, I can see they're going to save my pics from the dreaded 'muddy water' look I was constantly getting in FS when using ultra settings. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing these ♥
BIG LIKES !!!
For my new Sim theme, it was important that the SL Water looks like an ocean. I went to the MP and searched for "Water Normal Maps". But without success. I expanded the search through Google and came pretty quickly across an article about Trompe Loeil.
BANG !!! The only creator in SL who has already thought and tried. How can it be otherwise, a great creator known for his great work. I have tried this Set directly and am very positively surprised that my ideas have been met.
I am very happy about it and had to write something in more detail. Thanks for these Water Normal Maps and even for free. Both thumps up. Many thanks.
LOVE
Thank you for sharing. Though I must travel to places with water, I have a blast with these maps.
