Andrei Ghenoiu has shared a nice video tutorial on generating waves for CryEngine 5.4.
Using Blender and Photoshop we create a beach wave object, and use Photoshop to create the textures, and go over the material creation to animate the waves. While not the most ‘splendid’ result I hope this video gives you some insight on how to create some waves.
