Breaking Wave

The usage of miniature effects plays an essential role in some complicated visual effects shots by combining scaled models and high-speed photography or matte shots. Dynamic effects, specifically water effects, cannot achieve a sense of full scale because the size of a container may have limitations that reduce the ability to change the physical characteristics of the water.

By combining the study of tsunami dynamics theory and advanced computer-generated imagery techniques, a single artist can manipulate the physical properties of the fluid to achieve a visual style improvement. The approach also helps break the limits of practical effects in a creative and artistic method, creating a more devastating tsunami in graphics.
