        Do you want a realistic waterfall, or just the illusion of a waterfall?

                Well...that's pretty advanced, but, typically with any water effect, you need a water texture, and then you animate the texture by changing the texture coordinates. If you want realistic waterfall, you'd also need a particle engine to create mist. I don't have any links to tutorials or code, maybe google for "opengl water tutorial" or poke around on http://nehe.gamedev.net/[^] (that's the second time I've linked to nehe today, what's up with that?!)

                    Multi-threading is not the approach I would take. Is the animated waterfall an .avi? If so, check out Lesson 35 on the nehe site.

                          To a message post? I don't think you can. Provide a link instead.

                            Don't want your file. Just tell me what format it is.
