Understanding the Media 2

I have carried on developing trees for my game environment using the tree creator in unity. As well as creating trees with the tree creator I also intend to download assets from the Unity Asset Store, there are a large variety of assets available for free created by the Unity community.

Unfortunately I was unable to download the assets into Unity because it is not the correct version, I did look into downloading the latest version of Unity but I was able to, the latest version of Unity requires the latest version of the Mac operating system (10.5). The Mac i'm currently using is 5.4. I will have to do download it on my home computer and use the assets there. 

I want to include a river in my environment and I have looked into how to do it and there is a river building tool available for download for free created by sixtimesnothing. I have downloaded it and unzipped it into Unity and used the tool, the only problem I faced was that the graphics card is unable to run the shader for the river tool so I can't build the river. 

I will overcome the problem by carrying on the project at home and download all the assets that I will need to complete the jungle. I will need to spend time on getting the water looking realistic because at the moment it doesn't look like water.
