Has anyone made any decent looking waterfalls with particle emitters or found another way to do it WITHOUT the running water (particle emitters) bleeding through the walls or backing back up in the water outlets ? Because I've been getting that bleeding problem when attempting to do waterfalls or water in pipes, or outlets in walls with water running out of them.

i,ve done it pretty easy anyway.And you just can adjust the particle radias to make it smaller and stop wounding itself What was the type of particle emitters you used anyway?And which country do you come from?

make it so the particles collide with the world so they don't just fall through it (is a property of particle emiters)
I knew there was a reason for my grotesque appearance

i like it to collide with everything and put gravity.Makes it look realistic.

Hmm. Yes if we make the particles small, no growth, then the water turns into stringy ugly lumps instead of looking like water even though we avoid the bleeding through the walls effect.. (Then it didn't look much like water anyway).
But if you're going to use explode and growth, use it carefully because in Red the delay flag is buggy and dosen't turn the particles off after testing the level with the explode flag if you don't have the "die on impact flag" turned on then you're gonna find yourself swimming around in thousands of growing particles that keep on collecting and slowing down the editor and it takes ages for them to dissapear.
Given RED editor, they are never really gonna look that realistic tho are they?!
no they arent
They will look as good as you've created them!
lol ok there aren't many options, but with a few tricks you can make them do crazy stuff. Like with push areas or invisible faces with collisions.
If you were talking about the emitter textures, then I'd have to agree of course. But it's possible to make your own ones, or borrow them from somewhere.

Sure they can look as good as you create them... but that doesn't mean they can look realistic
