Looks great - did you use that waterfall tutorial? cause that's exactly what they did - that same perspective, and the fog in photoshop, although your's looks a lot better, although the one thing i always hate with the waaterfalls is that the base of the falls always look fake. Ohh well, and for a first attempt i think you've created a lot of jealous faces!!!! =) Toad

Yes, I used the waterfall tutorial from www.3dcafe.com. Originally I wasn't going to try it, but I clicked it and it had 3 simple steps so I figured... why not. The water took a long time, not to model, but to texture. Everyone said it looked like paint and then like metal. Any ideas how to make it more realistic?

you could try some light transparency - and on the part that it is flowing down, put some small rocks protruding from the drop, that may make it look a little more realistic, cause you'd be able to see the rock scape underneath the water!
