How to Make Water on Little Big Planet

Water effects provide instant gratification to those who appreciate video game aesthetics, and "Little Big Planet" offers beautiful, stylized water. The game's level creator is a powerful tool in its own right, but the Pirates of the Caribbean Kit adds a wealth of exciting options by introducing water to the level creation tool. By adding water to your levels, you can provide an additional layer of beauty and complexity to them.
