HUMPBACK WHALE
Whale tales!...


It’s called a humpback whale due to its back forming a hump when it dives. 45 feet long for 30 tons once an adult, it has a life expectancy of 80 years if it doesn’t end up in the hold of a whaling ship.

Incredibly agile, it is capable of leaps that project its entire body out of water.

On the other hand, while less impressive, its digital double is much more docile. It obeys every beck and call and can even be trained to juggle a ball.
If necessary, it can easily transform itself to become the very rare and little known Butterfly Whale evolving in its natural environment…

 

But before that, it’s necessary to create a detailed and realistic model, to set up a rig coupled with a procedural animation script, to work and re-work the textures and lighting so they conform to reality, to finely tune the compositing in order to obtain the desired result

In the end, this represents many long work days spent taming the greatest of mammals.
