3d fish!!!!!!!!!!!!


making this fish took close to 10 hours becausei had to experiment with every surfacing option on rhino. i started with a bitmap of a fish picture i got off google images. I hid the fins and then traced the outline of the fish and then layed horizantal bars going down the length of the fish. Then i made lines parralelling the horizontal bars, these lines are for the surface to go over, the height each line is above the outline of the fish is half as thick as the final fish. Next i deleted the original horizantal bars and selected "patch" from the surface menu at which point i selected all the lines and hit enter, a surface should be created over the outline and horizantal lines. Then mirror the surface, now you should have a complete body. Now you can unhide the outline of the fins and extrude them a small distance. some fins may need to be duplicated and/or rotated to the correct angles. now for the eyes, create a small sphere, copy it once and place one on each side, sunk into the body however much you please.
