In January 2008, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences granted a Technical Achievement Award® 2007 to Victor Gonzalez, Ignacio Vargas and Angel Tena for the creation of the RealFlow™ software application, recognizing the significant contribution RealFlow™ has made to the process of making motion pictures.

The Technical Achievement Award® was presented to the RealFlow™ developers during the Academy’s annual Awards Presentation Dinner and Ceremony held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Saturday, February 9, 2008 in Los Angeles, USA.

The RealFlow™ developers were honoured for their hard work creating and developing RealFlow™, which has been hailed by the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee as “the first widely-adopted, commercially-available, easy-to-use system for the simulation of realistic liquids in motion picture visual effects”.
