Mathieu, I mailed you last week off-list, but just incase I was filtered again....

Your help really saved my ass on this job, thanks again!

Hi Mathieu,

I sent you this (see below) reply yesterday, but I guess it must have been spam-filtered, or got lost in the ether.... Just incase it was filtered I thought I'd try replying to the list this time. Anyway here it is again, but without the attachment, which you can find here: http://www.danyargici.com/XSI/TEMP/drunk_fish.zip

Thanks again, and again...and again.... and again.......... ;)

*I've attached the file without the event script I originally posted as my instance sources are probably oriented differently in this scene. But you can see what the problem is quite clearly. This is %90 correct, however as I said, the fish seem to get pretty messed up in terms of which way is up...

I'm not sure how it should be realisticly speaking... I guess I kinda figured that even if their top fins always pointed up it would at least be passable. Right now they look a like eels!

Like I said (and keep saying!), any help you can offer would really help me out of a corner... I can get by using SCOPS for expressions etc. but vector manipulation is just beyond me right now! I hope to solve that in the near future, and hopefully one day I can return the favour! At the very least, if you ever find yourself in Istanbul, I'd be happy to buy you a beer, show you around etc....
