Plant Test



We have decided to look into the water plants and reefs.  This is a rough plant test to see if I can get them swaying in the water.  The reef is going to be bump mapped to give it a rough and rocky surface while I'll place various plants on top.

Fish Tank Enviroment

Ferghan and myself decided to for the aquarien fish tank.  I like the aquarien fish tank because it tries to replicate the natural envirement that fish live in.  I also find that it looks aesthetic and calming which would contradict the characters of the 2 loud burping fish.  

With the aquarien, we will be playing the the audiences perception.  

Fish Model

The fish has started to take shape and is looking good so far.  I'm going to go back in to the model and add more features on it like cheeks and gills.  I' going to make the eyes slightly larger as well to give the fish a cartoony feel.  

I think that blend shapes will work for for the puffing of the cheeks and depending on how close the camera is on the fish I'll will either bump map or sculpt the gills.


Fish Scales

Thinking about colourizing these scales for the texturing. We are going for cartoon styled fish, so I amy need to ctreate textures from scratch.
