Hi,

Nice ascii fish, maybe you could make an SMS animation out of it

Some people animate fish by displacing the vertice along a sine wave. Depending on the fish, displace either x or y coordinates, assuming your fish is looking in the direction of the z-axis.

Usually normal fish move their bodies from side to side, in which case you displace the x coordinates, and mammals like dolphins wiggle up and down, so for them displace the y coordinates.

  1. Scan a photo or an illustration.
  2. Paste it to PainShop or such.
  3. Make a new layer
  4. Draw contour and then tesselate it.
  5. Read vertice’s Xs & Ys,make yourself Zs since you know Z==0 at a contour and is maximum in center.
