Jim I am doing something amazingly similar with fish and splines right 
now (although the project is on hold until school breaks).  You seem to 
have been able to write it much faster than I have though.

The render look fantastic!  Your shark could use a bit of wear though. 
Most good sized sharks have a few nicks in them.  Stunning nonetheless 
though.
