aaOcean is an implementation of Jerry Tessendorf's 2004 paper on Simulating Ocean Waves. Author: Amaan Akram www.linkedin.com/in/amaan

FEATURES

• Novel FFT spectrum sampling ensures that the resulting ocean shape is only enhanced by increasing ocean resolution, and not completely changed
• Multi-threaded via OpenMP
• OpenEXR output for object-space vector displacement

Example of work done with aaOcean: https://vimeo.com/42087457
