Lighthouse

This was an idea I've had floating around in my head for awhile. Since I've been trying to learn Houdini and now have the means of making giant waves, I figured I'd give this a shot. This was my first non-class/tutorial project working with the FLIP sim, so all things considered I guess it turned out pretty good. I'm not as happy with the foreground foam, but after a weekend of trying different things I think it's as good as it's going to get for now. Lighthouse/island were modeled in Blender/Zbrush, ocean and flying spray in Houdini. (background sky is a matte-painting made out of a few different photos I've taken)
