3D Breaking Wave Concept

http://uni3d.com/ - This is a progression of concept tests for a breaking wave. The dynamic simulations use RealFlow, with the final tests having upwards of 500,000 particles. This setup used a vortex field and a geometry influence to get it's shape without having to calculate a ton of data in water depth. The geometry and test was designed in Maya and rendered using Mental Ray. Higher resolution version available on my site above.
