Thanks guys for the supportive words, on the site and the work.

The ocean is a result of a tonne of R&D, literally trying everything and naturally ending up using my first instinct. First thing you might notice is in the Starfish animation you never see the horizon for good reason as I'm using a tiling displacement map with 2D VRay Displacement to keep render times down. But for the stills I'm able to show the horizon as I'm using VRay 3D Displacement with the same Displacement Maps but mixed with Procedural Textures to cover up the tiling. The material itself is a simple reflective VRay material nothing fancy there.
