@donnelly1994 Look at 1:43, they are using 3dsmax and Flowline. 3DSMax was massively used on 2012. All colapsing buildings are developed in 3dsmax Thinking Particles too.
Scanline VFX from Germany (they also have a base in california) created the big water FX shots for the movie. And no, they do NOT use RealFlow for such large scale, I would doubt they use it at all, because they have their own, academy award winning tool, called Flowline. Flowline is capable of simulating liquids and gasses and is their in-House tool. It is node based and fully integrated to 3dsMax and Maya. Not for sale. Checkout their breakdowns for the movie "Hereafter". Scanline FTW
@donnelly1994 lol, is that right. Yes Maya is mainly used in film but saying it's the most advanced and realistic, really makes no sense. With out a doubt, today how realistic something looks comes solely down to the artists involved. Software capabilities are so Minimal today that the main differences come mainly down to easy of use, stability and compatibility.
I highly doubt they used either blender, 3ds max or cinema 4d for this, big VFX companies use software like Maya, which is far more advanced and realistic.
@marcelosouza The collapsing buildings were simulated with bullet physics in Huidini.

@happyfoxproductions large Studios never just use a single bit of software, and have all major 3d applications at there disposal.

@donnelly1994 totally agree, hey use MAYA and probably real-flow or some water simulation software.

@KiLlA5321 I think for some of it they used 3dsmax from autodesk
