Flood:Surf

Based on a statistical model of deep ocean waves, Flood:Surf is a virtual ocean-in-a-box. FLOOD:Surf is your end-to-end, interactive toolkit for photo real ocean surfaces.
Start with a FLOOD:Surf Mesh which adapts its detail to the camera view. Interactively dial-in the appearance of your ocean surface using controls for simulation detail, simulation size, wind speed, wind direction, wave height, choppiness, and more.
Render your ocean with the included ocean surface and ocean highlight shaders. Add further dimensions with additional procedural map types to help you design foam and control particle emission for spray effects.
