Animated ocean background

VIArts

i made an ocean usi6ng replicators. I also used Realistic Sky, so i know this will take a while to render. i wfantr to use it as a animated background. maybe a HDRI, so i need to figre out a good cut off point so it will loop seamlessly instead of having to render a full 5 minutes.

 

any ideas?

 

it's a horizon shot, btw

If making this in Carrara, why not use an Ocean primitive?. You can set the "system period"(General -> ocean) to the same as the animation time and have a seamless loop.
