OK. Next time you're in the "reading room" look in the mirror, there is your developer, then

I still have no idea how I'm going to animate the swaying corals.

I thought coral was solid stuff. But if something has to sway, then it is rooted in place at the bottom, and the mesh vertices's range of motion increases towards the free end. The plantings should all move roughly in unison as they move in sympathy with the local prevailing currents. The same currents effect the local fish. That's what I'd expect to see at any rate. Others with a better eye to reality will no doubt be able to add clarity.

A final note, I read it years ago:

Artists ship

So I hope you will set a realistic deadline for your development

The sooner you ship the sooner I get my Mac OS X version, right

Best ...
