The Last of Us Part II: Beach Waves, Quinn Kazamaki
My goal with this effect was to make something that hasn't really been seen in games before(although, with so many games out there I'm sure someone has done it at some point). I was responsible for the foam projections and material modifications for the wet sand as the waves would crash and push up onto the shore, run down it, and then seep into the sand. Basically just integrating the wave effect into the shoreline. Wataru Ikeda was responsible for the rest of the effect including making the water surface deformations and the wave crashing into itself. Malcolm Hee was the background artist I worked with on the sand material. If you see some frame blending, that's just some artifacts from trying to loop the video.
