Yeah the carve tool is bugged and creates *heavy voice* eety beety teeny veeny *end heavy voice* brushes that don't optimize well. The clip tool is much more dynamic anyway.

Create a brush with the top-side textured with water and all other sides with nodraw.

Press Shift + A to bring up the texture application tool and then select a face. Selected faces will have a red tint to them. Hold down CTRL to select multiple faces.

Ya, ofcourse not but on the basic basic stuff, it usually is relatively correct... like the stuff hes asking; textures, water, (not going to say carve because many do mention it as a good method) etc.
