Model 71A - American Eel

This is an animation of an adult American eel This 3D model is a composite of images from an adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) housed at the Maymont Nature Center (https://maymont.org/animals/nature-center/), and a scan from a preserved American eel 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.
