I created the waterfall using a powerful (though horrendously unstable) fluid dynamics engine called RealFlow 4, and used Maya 8.5 for modeling, animating, texturing, and rending. This scene is still a work in progress and will eventually be incorporated into a larger animation (in stereoscopic 3D). Still to come: roads, walkways, interior & exterior furnishings, an extensive background mountain range, and a bridge connecting the buildings.
