Blender artist Pablo Vazques [VenomGFX] is giving some insight in the production process of one of his great works, 'Swim Merlin Swim!'
Pablo writes:
I always liked aquatic scenes, each one involves you in unique mood and colours, but over all, i like these kind of scenes because of what it takes to represent them in 2D and also in 3D, to take each of those details and to be depicted in a drawing it's a task that requires lots of observation and a deep study; as I'm not the sort of guy that studies or observates too much, in this kind of “Making Of” you'll find explained step by step the details that in a way or another took me to the final image in February, 2005. Despite the main tool used was Blender, this won't be a software specific guide, it will be a short one about getting the final effects.

I saw this last week and it reaally impressed me! Great job on everyting from modeling to lighting to animation. A real inspiration. A big thanks to Pablo for taking the time to make a 'making of'!
Great stuff!!!
Nice compositng.
Hi !
Good resources. Great CG work. I haven't found a link to the movie itself. Is the making of released before the movie ?
Its funny, I started to work on an under water scene some weeks ago, and since I began I found several articles speaking of this kind of work. It must be in the time !
Very nice tutorials. For my own, I'm very clumsy at compositing, so I did the following sequence in one render pass, with only procedural textures and few vertex painting :

I wish i will improve my knowledge in compositing.
Love Pablo's style and flair, surely Blender.org must carry a link to his pages :D
Wow, looks INCREDIBLY informative!
Article is very much informative
and i think among a blender artist VenomGFX 's site is so EYE candy
Hope he will come more with more tutorials soon too
Thanks a lot, Pablo. Good to know that Apricot isn't taking up all your time :)
May be an obvious answer but I have yet to figure out hot to get those curved lines to show like the Merlin fish on the lower left. what are the settings?
Pablo, what a cute character! I love the facial expressiveness.
Maybe the fish could make a guest appearance in Apricot! :)
I finally got to see all the videos and links. This is very helpful. Thanks for taking all the time to create this.
Darn! Seems like the link is broken.
I think we broke his website. Sorry pal. Hope to see it up n running again soon!
I am seeing more and more personal artists' site getting hammered by BlenderNation. Maybe you guys should shout us a mail before launching a DoS attack :D
