Title: Cod fish
Name: Radek Jakubiak
Country: Sweden
Software: Lightwave 3D, Maya, ZBrush

Hi

Here's a fish me and workmate did at work inbetween projects.
Primarily it was intended for testing rigging techniques in Lightwave but the animation turned out so sweet we decided to render and make a short clip out of it.

Some of you might recognize the animation as the rig was shown in the NewTek booth at Siggraph a few weeks ago.

I did the model and render while Mikael rigged and of course animated.

It's modelled in Lightwave and ZBrush, rigged/animated in Lightwave and shaded/rendered in Maya/MentalRay.

Comments are ofcourse very welcome.

You can download the animation right here: ftp://FTP_Cod:FTP_Cod@cageman.dyndns.org:21/Cod.avi (roughly 10MB in size).

Cheers
Radek

Looks really neat buddy! It has been fun to watch this unfold from the cod that was the ref to the cod that's really looking very much alive now:-)

(and to watch all the troubles that it brought you^^)

5 stars! no doubt about it.

The cod turned out real good guys, congratulations. And just as smoothie said, itīs been interesting and inspiring to watch you two kicking butt like that :)
The rigging that Mr. Cageman did was really something too.

Five stars from me.

Thanks a bunch guys/girl!

Luke, you thought right :) But moved at a very young age.

Here's a wireframe. A very simple SubD model with some detail displacement from zbrush.
