OK now... be easy on me this is my first model in TS and sense my open heart a 5 way. I don't if anyone has showed Jack what the tut can do for them... So Jack if you come in here what it has done for me.

I know I need to do a little more on the material. I may put it in a movie clip I am thinking on doing with TS to see what it can really do.

Nice job! Way better than my first ts model! I like the texture actually, makes him look like a real tough fish. Great work!

Speaking as a fishmonger, that would be one tough sell to my customers!!! :)

Very nice work. I like the current material as well. :)

Thanks for the reply. The material was really easy as I stayed with TS for all but the color. The color was made with photo shop and the lines are one of TS bump map.


I hope my next object turn out as good.A old time diver suite :)

Wow! Awesome work Finder! It's very cool seeing the fish concept as a finished model! :banana::jumpy:
Not to mention this is an insanely good model for a first model in TS! :eek:

Couple of pointers that could make it even better:
1. Try to make the teeth a bit more organic looking by making them less regular, both in shape and taper. You want to avoid the cylinder or cone look.

2. When I sketch the design I envisioned the side fins more like "wings" stretched out on either side.

3. Reduce the bump map and glossiness some. Also consider that fish generally are darker colored on top and lighter colored on the bottom. So that might give you some ideas for a more detailed coloration. Though I gotta admit he does look rather mean in black. :D
