This is realistic 3d model of the whale shark or Rhincodon typus for Cinema 4d v16 and up.Anatomically correct, fully rigged, animated, textured and ready to render.

Model comes with intuitive and clean rig with visual selector and parametric animation features. It is rigged with powerful Character object using custom components. Rig has a separate 'SHADOW' hierarchy of deformation joints, so all the animation can be baked from control rig to joints transforms allowing to export the model to realtime applications or game engines.

Visual selector ( tag on a Character object) makes interaction faster and viewport clean.Dynamics on fins and spine components will add realism and make animating fun.Parametric swimming motion built is spine component allows you to animate very easy - control and animate frequency amplitude and wave length as well as blending for each of spine controls.It is possible to specify any path and the model will swim along it.

Check out the video showing similar rig in action.
