sealife
 

Hi there,

I just finished my first animation. I started with some of the Fishy modeling tutorials and went on from there, although I'm using Max. Personally I'm quit satisfied, but then again I'm only a newbie. So please can you guys (and girls) give me some comments about my work.

thanks

Four :tup: !! One thing that i would change is the last part where the fish swims away. It's too fast compared to the rest of its movements.

Nice job. Only crit I have has to do with the lighting on the fish. In ost underwater scenes I've done, I leave the lighting at "normal" underwater, and then make the highlight a higher intensity white, rather than a dark regular and a normal highlight. At least for shallow water.

I wonder if that made sense. It's late here.

Thanks for the crits.
Hoopti, I'm afraid your crits don't make much sense to me (and it's very early here now). Do you think the fish is not clearly enough? I applied a projector map to one of the lights to simulate the lightdistortion true the waves.

R4s1n, right you are. I've added 100 aditional frames and I think it's much better now. I'll post the new render soon.
