Introduction

As part of the introduction, it is important to state here what Tessendorf waves can and cannot do.

Tessendorf's oceans do not simulate every type of ocean wave
What Tessendorf waves can NOT do
--no breaking waves of this type
--no waves rolling over
--no waves colliding with objects
--no foam generation, but it will give you information to put your own foam texture in
--no spray, but it will give you all the information you need to create particle spray

What Tessendorf waves can do
--calm ocean out in the open sea (Fig 1 below)
--unsettled ocean out in the open sea (Fig 2 and 4 below)
--possibly stormy ocean out in the open sea (Fig 3 below)

In short, this plugin lays down a lot of the ground work for you to go and create the types of oceans displayed in the reference photographs below.
