Rust Animals

This was a really fun update. I made lots of fish models for the underwater and fishing update, as well as created a swim vertex shader to animate them in the wild without having to use bones.

All fish were hand-painted in substance painter using many, many layers.

Adding to this project: some more animated critters using the same movement shader.
