I just finished the basic model for a prototype fish in Lightwave. It was just as hard as I thought it would be, trying to anticipate everything the critter would need to do. All the parts which used to be separate objects (eyes, side fins, low fins) are now part of one single mesh. In addition, the mouth will be able to move, and the gills work. But I've got to send in an update tomorrow, and have nothing to show, so I'll have to put in all the old fish for now. If I pull an all-nighter I should just be able to make it.
