== Overview ==
Our goal is to render a scene containing a clownfish in a sea anenome. We hope to accurately reproduce the transparency of the fins, scales and anenome stalks. These are a few reference images:

== Approach ==
For the body of the fish, we need to model the scales so that they appear 3 dimensional and can be given transparent and specular properties.  We plan to use an alpha map to create the texture in the fins.  We plan on rendering the translucence of the fish using the thin film subsurface scattering technique. The sea anenome will be procedurally generated using a combination of sphere and cone objects that are perturbed in ways to make look more realistic.  The surface will be rendered using the BSSRDF technique for thick objects.
