After quite a bit of work, I am finally done with the first blog post about ocean rendering! You can find it here: rtryan98.github.io/2025/10/04/o... I've also decided to create a video to showcase the ocean simulation in motion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OXm...

I've finally implemented image based lighting. It adds a lot to how the ocean looks. Next up will be some level of detail sampling on the ocean to get rid of specular artefacts!

For quite a while I've been working on a Fast Fourier Transform based ocean simulation in my render engine. Whilst there is still a lot to work on, I'm excited to see the result once I've added IBL to this renderer.
