23.01 Behind The Scenes: Creating Fish

[Eugene Bobylev]

You ever wondered how our lovely fish characters are created? We’re ready to take you behind this magical process. Want to dive in the world of digital art? Let’s go!

Sketching. It all starts with an idea. Game designers go through tons of reference photos, pictures, videos to come up with a general concept. Sometimes they develop special holiday-themed fish which serve to brighten up the festive atmosphere in your aquarium!

Drawing. After the general concept is ready, it’s time for 2D artists to take over. They start looking for the right form and appearance: the way a fish looks depends a lot on its character. The final variant has to be approved by the whole team.

Coloring. At this stage the artists switch to colors and render the final image. They have to draw it in several projections: front, profile and three-quarters.

Modelling. Now it’s time for our 3D artists to shine. They convert the new fish from surface into a 3D object which has to look as close to the original as possible!

Texturing. This stage consists of drawing all the details and painting the fish. It’s a very technical process and 3D artists have to be very precise to make sure the fish looks gorgeous and colorful from every angle.

Rigging. At the final stage it’s very important to create a skeleton and the so-called controllers (which will help us move the fish like a puppet). The trickiest part here is to ensure everything works naturally for making animations of the fish.

Animating. The fish is alive now! It just has to wait a little bit for the update release to meet you!
