its easier to do what i said, you can always convert your water brush into a static mesh. that way you get the size and color you want

What would Fluid surface info do to my water? whould it make it more realistic?

Fluidsurfaceinfo, is basically the water. It's a fake sheet of water that will ripple, but it isn't a volume, so if you go under the surface, there will be nothing. Add one, and turn on testripple and play around with the settings. You'll have to add a realistic texture (reflective) to make it look nice.

if you want realistic water, check out this helpful post murphy sent me.

This below will give you waves, instead of animated water

Actorbrowser -> Info -> FluidSurfaceInfo.

Change its Properties -> Display -> Skin to your water texture.

Adjust its settings in Properties -> FluidSurfaceInfo.
(the FluidSurfaceColor setting is disabled as long as it's set to unlit. If you plan to have it react to light I recommend increasing the ScaleGlow value a bit)

If players set Physics Detail to Low in the display settings FluidSurfaces are reduced to sheets. So if it's a sheet for you, make sure you set that to High.
