well i think the movements maybe JUST a little too serpentine. but its awsome anywho XD and who is gonna notice little thing like the movement (besides me :P, and do not mind me, im a perfectionist.) anyway you atleast got your sharks swimmin around XD mine looks kinda like its thrashing or spazzing out XD so i cannot really critiq...
@dragonrage500 Thanks for the comments. I know the potential hazzards of being a perfectionist myself. It's a constant struggle between perfection and being satisfied with well enough and moving on. I have so many unfinished projects because I can't stop "improving upon them." I've had to train myself to let some stuff go in order to complete an animation or a story. But on the other hand this is just basically a test animation that could definatly use some more fine tuning.
@DnBastard Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. This was just a test to get the swimming movements down. So now I need to to buckle down and work on the lighting, materials and textures.
@pivotNova That's great. I just started with Blender a couple of months ago although I have used other 3d programs before. My first tip click on the GETTING STARTED link on the Blender website. There are about 5 videos of the basics. Then scour Youtube for all the tutorials you can find. Start with the easy ones. I have tutorial playlists on my channel.
@pivotNova I don't have my own tutorial for that. I tried making a quick one today but I can't get my cam studio recorder to work without crashing or giving me a messed up video. But I found this tutorial that gives some good info on rendering. Just look for the video - Blender 2.5 Render Settings by CleverNameStudios. Hope that helps.

@JohnnyTrotz There's so much it can do for a free program wich also means alot to learn. I just wish I had started on this program a long time ago.
