Describtion:

The story simulates what happen in the sea everyday. The small fishes swim in the water freely, However, they have to face the dangers--the hunter. Here, our hunter is a shark. In small fishes' point of the view, the shark is stronger, is the evil. However, for shark, the fish is just the food. If itcan't capture the fish, it will die: hungred to die. This is the sea, and, this is the nature.

Tools:

Poser4.0--Used to create the charactor and perform the action of charactor.

Bryce4.0--Used to make the scene

PhotoShop 6.0--Used to make images and words

Charactor:

Charactor 1: Fish

	Fish1		Fish2

Charactor 2: Shark

Something needs to explain about this charactor. We didn't create a model for shark. Instead, we use the dolphin model provided by the Poser 4's figure library and modified it to make it looks like a shark. We tried to created our own shark model with 3dMax, but we found it will take too much time and we have to give it up.

	Body of Shark		Top of Shark

Scene: The Scene is made by Bryce4.

Views:

	Top View		Side View

	BLUE - Cove
	GREEN - Plant
	Purple - Object
	RED(topview) - Terrain
	NOTE: RED(sideview) - 2D Face polygon(this is what we use to create the underwater effect)

Objects:

	Bottle		Ground

	Bottle:
	step(1) Create cylinder(2) + cone, group them together
	step(2) Make this group to be positive
	step(3) Duplicate group and make the duplicate small in x and z plane
	step(4) Make this duplicate group to be negative
	step(5) Group the two groups
	step(6) Add glass texture

Ground:

step(1) Create 2D face polygon, enlarge size to be able to cover the entire scene

step(2) Set the polygon up high which not showing in the view

step(3) Add water texture

step(4) Set: shadow(50,green), Fog(10-100,blue), Haze(0,white), Dome(38)

Conclusion:

	In this project, we learned the basic idea of 3d animation. We got the basic skills in 3d applications. For instance, we knew how to control the position of each part of the object,the movement of the carmeria and its effect and the basic knoweledge of how to create the 3d model, texture and so on. Especially those skills in Poser and Bryce.
