Woollen knitted fish model plus animated scenes Free 3D model

This is older piece of work that I did back in July for my HNC (Higher National Certificate) Final major Project that I've decided to make freely available to anyone who's interested. For this project I was tasked with taking a previous project on storyboarding where we pitched an animation idea around the theme of clickbait take the successful pitches and work in groups for to create final animations for our FMP. However with the global pandemic due to Covid plans changed. Each of us was instead tasked with adapting our original pitch ideas so that we could work on them individually from home and this was my submission. Adapted to meet deadlines (original was meant to use Maya) this project saw me learn the basics of rigging and 3D animation a new field for me.

Please see the embedded videos for animation/environment, turnaround of fish model and break down of the project production.

Included are three standalone un-subdivided fish model files in the following formats

• Collada • FBX • OBJ

Also included are the original Blender files with a standalone file for the fish model as well as the scene files for the animation I produced all packaged with the textures, and lighting setup (HDRI from HDRI Haven.com). The fish model blender file has a simple rig for animation as well as shape keys to control the pupil dilation and mouth with a overall root controller using a curve for positioning

Please note that the particle system and materials only work using cycles when rendering not Eevee. While files where originally made in 2.82 they have been tested with 2.90.1 and are compatible.

Any issues or questions please get in touch and I'll try to help as best as I can. Feedback is always greatly appreciated!
