Looks great What does it look like without the splashes, or whatever component it is that is flickering?

fixeighted jep i guess you mean the mesh what is prdoucing some blocky movement i wasn't able to get rid of it completely.

Let's cross fingers they will find something there
Foam and splash movement looks quite ok to me when you watch the sim playblast

super cool! I thanks for sharing the progress too

Nice work Olika ! as Fixedheight says, it would be perfect without the blobby movement of the water surface in front of the wave. I followed your topic on this and you did a great job.

Thank you for sharing the insights - been working on a distant tropical beach today and the idea of splitting up the wave forces really helped everything fall into place! Took a nice step up.

And nice work - the wave looks great! I always try and avoid cameras like that because they force such a high grid resolution needed, hell of a challenge.
