This project explored the realistic depiction of a hammerhead shark in its natural underwater environment. The focus was on achieving lifelike form and atmosphere through 3D modeling, texturing, and the targeted use of light and visual effects. As part of the process, I also learned the basics of 3D animation by creating a realistic swimming cycle. Finally, I experimented with 3D printing, aiming to transfer as much detail as possible from the digital low-poly model into a physical prototype.
