The shark is a really beautiful and terrifying creature.…The smooth flowing shapes haven't really changed in hundreds of millions of years.…The process for creating these smooth flowing shapes can be daunting at first.…It can also be kind of time consuming.…In this movie and in this series of movies, we're going to be skipping…through the tedious part and showing you the major elements of the shark modeling process.…Creating the basic outline of the short body, extruding the fins out of the…body, creating the mouth shapes, the gills.…The goal for this, showing you the major steps, is that you'll understand all of…the elements that are required for making this shark and without having to go…through all the tedious process of actually making the shark from scratch.…
This is not really intended to be a modeling tutorial as such.…It's really all about the process of creating a promo.…So rather than I show you the entire shark modeling process, we want to take you…through all of the major steps involved.…
