In the movie 'Interstellar' they have used pretty good real time animations with large details. I guess they may have used global illumination rendering.

There are basic software packages to make animations like Cinema4D (used in 2012), Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya and others. And renderers like V-ray or Maxwell (probably, I'm not sure used in Gravity) So my question is: which are the software packages that used in Interstellar for modelling, animating and rendering purposes?
