Liquid/ocean/wave expert needed

[Furnace]

Hi,
I've got a possible project to put out there.

It's the creation of a wave/wake hitting a low wall, if you think a 3 ft high wall and a jet ski has just gone past.

It's a still, not animation and needs to be about 10,000 pixels wide.

Please get back to me if you can do this, I'm guessing RealFlow/Krakatoa, but it doesn't matter what you use.

Cheers.

Have you got any kind of sketch of what you think it'd be shaped like? I'd really be inclined to fake this since it's a still. You can definitely model the main water and wake, use the hot4max plugin to give you a nice ocean surface (it's the same tessendorf data every other ocean surface uses) and then use a combination of dumb particles and warped still images to do the splash. 10k resolution is a huge ask for a water sim as the resolution / fineness of detail is limited by memory and sim time.

I'd be looking for stock photography and doing that in photoshop.
