[REQ] idea for sharks

vindex · 06-14-07, 10:44 PM

Could sharks be added as a "debris" object? I know it sounds strange, but think: the time when you would see sharks would be after a ship has been sunk ... and only then. The key issues are (1) whether you could position them so they are mostly submerged (with their dorsal fins out of the water) AND (2) whether you could animate them to make them look like they are swimming, rather than just floating. Anyway, just an idea.

Also, is there a way to make debris more persistent? It seems to disappear awfully fast.

OR maybe sharks could be added as an additional (or alternative) "lifeboat" graphic ... since those move around more. Of course, then they'd be a sonar contact
