A talking fish and a hooking toot

[renderspud]

Hey guys,

 

I just remembered a couple of animations I did for a fishing web site. They needed a really quick talking Stryper and an animated example of how too hook up a spedial rig using anchovies.... hmmmm.

It took about 3 days to do both anims. The lip synch could have been more robust, but for online content I guess it's OK. Comments welcome.

 

Cheers.

PS. I also did a talking flash card for this site somewhere.... I believe you have to click on the "maps" button and look for "Chip Powell".

Benedict Arnold.... Poor guy doesn't know what he is in for.... does he?

Nice fish. His friends are gonna hate him though.

 

Good animating. You kept him moving about just right.

 

Makes me wanna go watch the extras DVD of Finding Nemo.

Hey Mike,

 

Fun stuff!

It must have been way difficult

to get that fishing line to behave!

 

The textures were super.

Did you scan a real fish,

paint it yourself, or what?

Love the fish

Thanks for the comments. It's semi-shameful to only have a fish to show... The textures are scanned and hand painted and the fishing line in the "rigging" toot was a spline set to render as a line. The line definately was the trickiest.

 

Thanks again for the comments.
