Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

However, other than realflow i dont know. I did though, find this post on another forum. Posted by someone called Olcho.
he said:
'For the river itself I believe you could use a texture - usually an animated bump and/or displacement (sometimes you don't even need displacement) will do the trick. If you want to make foam, then the textures will be more complex, but that's the way I woud go.
Now for the integration of floating objects there's a very cool trick, using Fluids. Make a 2D fluid container with the Y size big enough to cover all the river and the riverbed, remove everything but the velocity. Paint some velocity to mimic the river flow direction. If you want to add some logs to float in the river, make them rigid bodies and connect them to the fluid force. If you have rocks in the river, you can make them collision objects with the fluids and the velocity will work its way around the rocks. If you want the logs and rocks to "emit" foam while they are in the river, you can make a 2D fluid texture and connect it to the river's color, bump and may be incandescence - you can pretty much experiment with all that stuff.
There's actually a very good video tutorial I think from Gnomon that describes all that - very cool stuff'
Hope this helps sorry

Well assuming your plugins are loaded, il begin. Im just simulating the last bit now, so i can show you. I dont a kinda step by step guide for you with screens shots.
Its not that hard when you get the hang of it. It should be ready very soon, like an hour

Ok, first you export your mesh. I.e your ground and what ever else is coming in contact with the water. Make sure everything is triangulated and the history is cleared, the pivots are centred, and freeze transformations.
2) File > Export all > export as SD file
3) Open Realflow. Click on this button and import your SD Scene.
