Next Step: As these are preliminary simulations, now that I was able to understand the technique used, I would like to go back and fit the parameters better to what I am looking for and cache at a higher resolution.

Personal Notes:

  • Fix the holes within the mesh

  • Waves are going too fast, follow the reference and compare the waves between the two

  • Refine boat animation to be used for collision source
