#realistic dolphin?
3 messages in this thread
Hey Everyone….
……Anyone?
Has anybody out there ever done a REALISTIC Dolphin? I'm not talking about the
animation but a true rendering that looked like a real dolphin. I've got the
Viewpoint mesh. Now I'm needing to map the various textures to the body and
have all the maps placed/oriented in a true fashion. There will also be some
slight bumps here and there to represent scars and scar tissue.
If you've done anything like that I sure could use some feedback. It's not just
going to be creating a bitmap and applying it I believe. The textures on a
dolphin are pretty complex to get a true realistic looking dolphin.
If anyone has ANY ideas, comments, pitfalls etc. I'm listening ever so
intently.
Thanks in advance…

Download Humpbk.zip from library 5, which is a TGA of a realistic
humpback whale with very detailed textures, then Whale.txt (I think) from
library 3, which is a compilation of messages about how I did it, including the
mapping methods used. I've never downloaded the text file myself, so I don't
know how its assembled, but it should contain all the info you need.
