Foam has been added and that concludes the programming work for this project, as this is the last week. There is a chance that I can take this project over into the next one, where together with a bunch of other Programmers we will develop a specific genre game engine. Looking forward to it 😁

A small update on my Water Rendering journey. I've been busy with shading and researching how I can go from Oceans to Rivers with the integration of flow maps. I don't think I will have enough time to move to Rivers due to time constraints for the project, so I will stick to Oceans for now :P

I've been silent for a while, mainly because I didn't have anything interesting to show. I was busy the last couple of days implementing the Tessendorf Model for Ocean Rendering. Massive thanks to @acerola.gg for his videos which helped me a lot! Here's a video of my implementation:

Also, obligatory Lightsaber render:

Now using a different Environment Map:

Finally managed to get IBL implemented. Granted, without the pre-filtering steps. I ran into this issue where the BRDF LUT was creating some artifacts on the Damaged Helmet. I then decided to take a less "correct" approach and not use the pre-filtered BRDF in the Specular calculation. Here it is:

Going into the final week of the first project of Year 2, I thought I should share what I've been working on. I've been making a PBR renderer for the first time, with the target platform being the PS5. Obviously, I am still lacking IBL so that's what I will be working on this week :)
