--- About Beach Wave (Curl Wave) ---
It's collaboration work.
The animation of the wave projections at foreshore, waves crashing against the rocks and nice wet sand representation were created by VFX Artist Quinn Kazamaki.
My contribution is curl wave, splashes and foam ( and churn) related to curl wave.
Also Eben Cook, the lead FX Artist helped to improve splash's looks.
Quinn also delivered some waterfall assets for the creek and river!
