Model 65A - Longnose Gar

This is an animation of an subadult Longnose Gar. This 3D model is a composite of images from a subadult Longnose Gar (Lepisosteus osseus) housed at the Maymont Nature Center (https://maymont.org/animals/nature-center/), and a scan from a preserved Longnose Gar from the Natural History Collection at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (https://bcrc.bio.umass.edu/nhc/home). CG artists Jer Bot, Johnson Martin and Robert Gutierrez used Blender to reconstruct the full fish from these scans and images, as well as animate the movements. Thanks to the Maymont Nature Center, the Richard Lewis Media Group (http://rlmg.com/), and the Natural History Collection for facilitating the work.
