Re: Animating a fish
Get some video of fish and observe it, and some referance of the type dancing you want to use.Originally posted by RJCanAnimator
I'm trying to animate a fish for a project I'm doing at the moment but it needs to be able to swim like a fish and dance like a human so I am having problems animating it. Does anybody have any ideas on I could do it?
And watch "Finding Nemo"
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

Not sure how exactly, I sholud try it out...
Try with Spline IK, use control objects, write down some expressions to get the wavey motion.
Is this cartoony like fish or the real one?
