Foundation S1

We used and improved ILP’s great expertise and solid pipeline to deal with the challenges of CG water. Most of the shots involving Synnax ocean extension were handled by Lighting, using ILP’s ocean toolset – with the ability to control wave/wind speed and scale, cross wind and mix multiple water descriptions for water breakup. But, for more complex shots, such as the sea sirens interacting with the water surface, or the giant wave we required custom water simulation. The interactive water was simulated using Houdini Flip solver. Multiple FX layers were generated: meshed water splash, white water, underwater bubbles and wet maps.
