Waterfall free 3D model & sprite sheet

A stream runs through a notch in a rocky cliff and falls in a rippling sheet into a pool at its foot, where foam churns. Moss and grass soften the stone. The Flow clip loops over twelve frames at 96 pixels, from a three-quarter view, as a complete scenic piece.

The rock masses are lofted shapes in dark and light stone. The falling water is a lofted sheet with ripple shape keys, foam streaks travel down with the flow by shape keys, and colour cycling runs through the water to keep the loop lively. Deep water fills the pool.

Waterfalls are landmarks in adventure and exploration games, hiding secret caves behind them, marking a river’s source or framing a rest spot. In side-view games they make striking background pieces; in top-down maps they mark the edge between two heights.

Change the Water and Deep water materials for a poisoned green stream or a lava fall in a fire level. Surround it with pine trees, the rock set and grass tufts for a mountain scene, or the blue crystal for a cavern.
