The movements of the fish are surprisingly realistic -- at least after the proper adjustments are made. Initially, I found the animation to be a little twitchy, but after I dropped the frame rate from 62 to 55 frames per second, the result was a smooth, natural motion.

And Prolific still just stares at me (Even in person when I asked them) when I suggest dialing back the default from the troublesome 62 to a more stable 58 or 56. :rolleyes:

Finally, if you're in the mood for something spooky, set the aquarium to "wireframe mode" and the fish become white wireframe skeletons.

Spooky? Well now that's putting a different spin on it. :) Hey Jim, maybe you could rework the wireframe mode to show skeletons instead. ;) Hey, you never know, if you did that you might just sell more during the month of October. lol

"That is until someone devises a screen saver that puts an ultra-realistic model of Anna Kour... never mind. Some things aren't worth contemplating. Anything that touches Sergei Federov will never touch me, other than maybe the earth's crust. Go Avs!"

This is hysterical if you are a hockey fan.

He's bothered enough that Wireframe was changed in MA2. :(

Not only in the news, but I am almost certain it was shown on Regis and Kelly Mon. morning, the 12 of May. They were showing the house that is up for give-away, and showing the master bedroom. There on the wall was what I thought was a saltwater aquarium. I remark on it to my husband. Then they are telling us that it is a plasma TV. They never did a tight shot of it. so I can't be 100% sure, but I know of no program like this except the Marine Aquarium. You see the image never change, just the fish swiming about. Could it be on DVD or VHS, as was discuss in another thread?

Could be. It seems to be the image of choice when showing off a room with a Plasma display. It's often on Home and Garden TV, and it's in this month's American Dream Homes magazine.

From the Mac review Frank linked to:

If you're an talented 3D modeler and skinner, you can even make your own fish. Or if you're not that talented, you can import fish created by other users.

Jim and Ken – The only two people good enough to be called "talented 3D modeler/skinner"? Or has this guy been messing with the Ruskij hack-kit?
