2_Jellyfish Models

Create jellyfish models by importing video footage/hand schematics depicting jellyfish movement into Maya 8. Maya 8’s fluid effects & force fields utilizing Navier-Stokes Equations were used to place model jellyfish into 2D & 3D water environments. The models enable examination of the movement & feeding behavior of different types of jellyfish.
