I'd like to learn more about creating more realistic water falls.Tutorials? Easy Methods? You can see in this the trouble I am having.

I think the actual water fall looks pretty good, me thinks the only 'problem' is the splash at the bottom of the fall. sorry, but i have no idea how you could fix that. but the fall looks very nice, fix up the splash and it will look great

It looks like you are awful close to a solution on your own. That looks quite good. Some more detail in your waterfall terrain would be good (what resolution did you start with?). Also, maybe a tiny bit of mist at the intersection of the waterfall with the water.

Could be worse, could be raining.

Amethyss: You should be creating tuts for us poor saps! This one is brilliant. I need one just like it for a project I'm working on right now!

Wow what feedback...I thought it looked cheesy,but I am postworking it for some spray,and it is getting better.It is lattice work with some erosion,twisting and texture editor effects.

a little more sparkle to the waterfall could add something...just a suggestion, as it's near perfect the way it is... more splash and mist, as others have said would do a lot too....great work!

You are really close, I would use two animated layers on this, one with an animated cloud layer for mist and then animate the water using the offset function in the mat lab.

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

This already looks quite good! I like the way your waterfall refracts an image of the wall behind it.

Try using metaballs and/or booleaned terrains for the splash the image shows the booleaned terrains bit. two terrains turned upside down, made solid for boolean and then booleaned to give a splash, I've reduced the transparency of the water mat for this image. (Idea from Peter Sharpes Tuts)

I'd give it a little, not much, fog around it to show water that's been turned into aerosol. It'd help mask any problem areas you see, as well as add realism. Otherwise, do a tut or "deconstructed" scene. IMHO
