BlackHawk Ocean Crash Realflow 2013

I have been working on this shot on and off for a week. Its my first "Big" Realflow Shot.

I used Hybrido 2 in Realflow 2013 for the Fluid Simulation the sim took around 9 Hrs to Sim and Mesh. The Splash and Foam took another 3 Hrs to Sim and all of the Render Passes took 3-4 Hrs.

I should of used a more detailed domain for more water splashing. I left the rotor blade spinning when it crashed to get more water splashes but in real life the rotor would probably break on impact.

I deformed the Realflow Water Mesh with the Houdini Ocean Toolkit Plugin to create an ocean like surface.

The Mesh was rendered with V-Ray in 3DS Max and the Particles with Krakatoa.
