Nice Mesh, I will check this one out. Very cool!
Always love the mesh tutorials as that is a tool that can be tough to get a hold on. Thanks, I will definitely check it out.
WOW, just wow.
Brilliant! I really like how smooth and refined everything looks.
The fish looks inspired by Chinese watercolor paintings. Love the color and detail.
Whoa that is really cool, it gives the lighting effect as though it’s actually under water..nice job.
It looks like it was a water painting, like the kind that you do by hand.
Whats that book with the fish with a lot of bright scales? The fish ends up sharing them with his friends… Well this reminds me of that book. Does anybody know?
The Rainbow Fish?
Your a genious Kevin!
Great tutorial. The final rendering has an ethereal effect, which is quite beautiful.
Thanks for sharing!
Veeeery cool!
Looks stunning… Too bad I’ve to be satisfied with the case study
Can someone tell me how the tutorial is to be followed? I downloaded the files from the plus site. I did not see any step x step tutorial, just the end files and a ton of images that did show steps but how is one to use those images, is there a viewer or procedure?
After downloading, unzip the file, then open the html file in any browser. The tutorial will show in a format similar to that posted online. Thx.
