We’re going to use the Loft function again to create the protruding eye portion of the hammerhead-style shark. Create a NURBS circle by Create > NURBS Primitives > Circle. Position it at about where the eye will merge with the head (Fig 96). My head is a little modified from the drawing, so it won’t be exact. Duplicate the curve (Edit > Duplicate > Options, Edit > Reset Settings), move it about 4 units in the Z direction, scaling it a tad in the X direction. Continue, modifying the circle’s positions and shape until you have something similar to Fig 97. Loft the circles in order, with the Section Spans in the Loft options set back to 1 (Fig 98). Use the history on the curves to adjust the shape. Once you’re satisfied, select the surface, rebuild with optimization settings, and delete its history and the curves.

Very simply, we are going to create the eyeball using a simple sphere. Go to Create > NURBS Primitives > Sphere. Scale and position the ball into the hole we made for it. (Fig 99) I scaled mine in the X, Y, and Z directions to about .13 or .14 to get it to fit. Your numbers may vary. Save as Sharkman11.mb

Using the same procedures as with the fins and flippers, attach the eyestalk to the head. See steps 15, 21, and 22. When all is done, you should have something similar to Fig 100.

Select your head geometry, making sure that you’ve rebuilt all of the surfaces with optimization settings and deleted its history. Duplicate, with the Duplication options reset (Edit > Duplicate > Options), and input -1 in the scale X direction (Fig 101).

Using a cylinder (Create > NURBS Primitives > Cylinder), create the arm on the creature’s left side (Fig 102). Using the Hulls and pushing/pulling CVs, shape a suitable arm, inserting isoparms and rebuilding with optimization settings when needed (Fig 103). Save as Sharkman12.mb.

Once again using the same procedures as with the fins, flippers, and eyes; merge the arm into the body surface. See steps 15, 21, and 22 (Fig 104). You can also refer to the Arm Stitching tutorial I have elsewhere on this site.

To create the large flipper to attach to the wrist, first, create a NURBS sphere (Create > NURBS Primitives > Sphere) and rotate it 90 degrees in the Z direction, so that the poles are facing horizontally. Select the last isoparm, closest to the wrist and detach. Delete the left-over section (Fig 105).

Using the Hulls and pushing/pulling CVs (inserting isoparms and rebuilding with optimization settings when needed), stretch the sphere out until you have the shape you like for the flipper (Fig 106). Attach to the end of the arm.

Mirror the geometry (Fig 107). Save your file as Sharkman13.mb.
