Jelly Fish Animation

Faculty: Professor Candace Oviatt
Graduate School: Oceanography
Year: 2008
STA: Will Roman and Stephen Suvajian

Jellyfish models were developed by importing video footage and hand schematics depecting jellyfish movement into Maya 8. Maya 8's fluid effects and force fields utilizing Navier-Stokes Equations were used to place model jellyfish into 2D and 3D water environments. Successful modeling will enable a method to correctly model and examine the movement of and feeding behavior of different types of jellyfish. Aurelia aurita (Moon Jellyfish) modeled in video.
