That was supposed to be "background objects". I'll notify Prolific.

Bit of a stretch claiming 6 background objects moving

I would consider the 3 clams to be one. But then I use the same logic in the express lanes in grocery stores where I figure 10 cans of soup is "one" item

lol, so you were the guy in front of me the other day.

By that reasoning there is only 1 fish. Creating 3 moving clams is creating 3 moving objects. They share nothing. 3 separate models, 3 separate textures, 3 separate shadows. Over a week to create each one (then another week on each when they didn't turn out right the first time).

I think quite a lot of people believe you create the entire object in 3D, fully textured, and then insert it into the scene (which explains the frequent requests for multiple views of the tank).

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.
