That is a nice shark. One that would be cool , but like the WhaleShark would have to be in the background would be the MEGALODON.

drfish · 06-14-2005, 08:15 AM

Megamouth?

That thing would look great if you gave it glowing blue lips...

ESHIREY · 06-14-2005, 08:58 AM

Now that's a mouth. He's cool.

Schnaaps · 06-14-2005, 12:23 PM

I am quiet disappointed that no body has requested sharks with laser beams attached to their heads. The answer is NO, but still no request?

Jav400 · 06-14-2005, 12:58 PM

Well now that you mentioned it.

Marian Nichols · 06-14-2005, 12:58 PM

We are waiting for you to do this first, THEN, we will ask for lasers.

Sharks with laser beams on their heads are lame, sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads is another matter...

feldon34 · 06-14-2005, 02:47 PM

What about ill-tempered sea bass.

iMark · 06-14-2005, 03:14 PM

When might the rest of us get to experience this awesome update?

feldon34 · 06-14-2005, 03:16 PM

When more bugs have been squashed.

bugsymcd24 · 06-14-2005, 05:57 PM

Scott · 06-15-2005, 07:16 AM

..Or, you could choose a great white and stick your nose really close to the screen. Should look about the same.
Present day species, please (and yes I know about the upcoming film).

Schnaaps · 06-15-2005, 12:09 PM

We have in the past, received requests for a submarine or a diver. These items are on our list, but I am not sure when we will include them.

Reasons not included:
1.The technology to add them into the environment and making them look "natural" in the environment.

2. Another reason is that under most circumstances the air bubbles from the divers and submarine tend to scare sharks off. So, it is common to have the water chummed which is a questionalable practice of the tourist trade.

3. Our Desire to keep a nice soothing natural environment.

4. We spent most of our time improving our existing sharks and backgrounds.

5. Sharks with Frickin Laser Beams attached to their heads are dangerous to man and machine alike.

A. There are 1000's of different sharks available for us to model, however, we would need to have one that is distinct in appearance and over 2 Meters long. The Whale shark is being considered, but it would have to remain at a distance from the viewer due to it's large size. Other Ideas?

If I could add a new creature to the shark tank it would be the sawfish, you cant get much more distinct than that. Since they are endangered and rarely seen anymore it would make a nice addition to this tank . see it here ----> http://www.elasmodiver.com/smalltooth_sawfish_2.htm

That would make a great Easter Egg.

Could you please elaborate a little about point four? Has the polygon count increased any?

Edgar · 06-16-2005, 12:46 AM

Polygon count almost doubled. Texture size also increased.

bugsymcd24 · 06-16-2005, 03:33 AM

What about Dolphins? An occasional tiff with a shark or just a cruise on by would be cool?

also some shark food like..maybe some Seal ?

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
