First to spanky: Yes the tiles wont make it look super good which is why it only goes from left to right. To make it change direction I would totally have to trash the shadow casting since there would be shadows on both sides of the river bed. x.x
GoZelda: I would use those but it wouldnt allow for the twisting and turning I would want which is why I didnt do it. Those tiles are mostly good for beaches and puddles over actual streams. Although I'm sure if I wanted to take the time I could go back and add some puddles with it yea but I'm to lazy as I proved my point to the person that you could make a dried up river.
I could think of a few other ways to do it too this was just the one I really liked. If I was going for a flatter dried up stream look I probably would use those tiles like so. (see attachment
Now before some one jumps on me I spent 2 minutes on it and if I was really going to try I wouldnt have made everything all straight and ugly like. See doing it with these tiles would be ok if I was making a small stream but for a river the water tiles would look to square and not allow for the smoothness I would expect to see in a river. Although to get a truly nice effect it would take a few graphics me thinks.
