reserving my spot! I have a terrible tooth ache atm, so can't promise I'll get it done, concept soon!

I know we're all wishing it would happen, the big freeze! My question is, does this work for the challenge?

whale flash frozen while breeching.

cool idea!
hope its ok to use.

ElysiumGX · Jul 2006

clever. do it.

here's how the whale's coming so far

Dude you could take quite a few of those edge loops out and still maintain almost the exact some silohette. Great progress! gogo!

Slum · Aug 2006

ebagg: yeah, but I think he wants a flowing fishy-type animation, which would look better with more loops.

MAUL0r · Aug 2006

well, he's not gunna be animated for this challenge, but you're right, I plan to save this version for later use

UV mapped the whale, workin on the scene, anyone know a good method for making a frozen ocean? what I have here is just based on some trial and error.

D'oh, I just commented on this in the SWAYWO thread. I was way off, but I see it now.

I'm guessing the ocean was flash-frozen, so the gentle undulation of the waves that far out would be caught just like the whale... think of a desert, but with a frozen texture instead of sand.

Try a blue-ish, transparent texture with cracks and opaque white areas

hopefully, these images will work:
