Thanks for all the advice. You are talking to an amateur here, but I've absorbed more info on animation this year than I did design, fabrication, fund-raising, and financing last year! Thanks for reminding me about the fish; I was planning to make another particle cloud using fish models as objects to do the fish thing. I'll also add bump maps to everything to give it a more rough texture. I'm hoping to finish looks soon so we can get started on actually animating. Again, thanks for the tips!
