Name: Spongebob Squarepants from tv show "Spongebob Squarepants". Nichelodeon.
Year: Unknown
Author: Stephen Hillenburg
Height: Unknown
Friends: Patrick, Squid, Mr Kreb and lots more.
Enemies: The little Plankton.
Note: Spongebob is a sea sponge, he lives under the sea in a little city with his friends. His main peculiarity is his childish behaviour toward life. Every little thing is very important to him, his dress, his pet (a slug), his job in a fast food, his "crabby patties"! ). Spongebob is curious, happy, dummy, but he is also very touchy, vindictive and smart!
In a word: Spongebob is crazy and very funny for everyone.

Modelling: This model has been finished in two afternoon using lots of pictures ad reference. It's all in subdivision surfaces, because I need a sinmple model, with few poligons, to make the animation simple. It has two morphmap fot the mouth, one opened and one closed. It has upper and lower eyelids and fully animatable eyes. Every texture has been created by hand starting from scanned fabrics and clothes. The sponge material is a procedural texture.
What lacks: I want to add more morphmap to the mouth to change more expression.
Notes: Look at the socks! Can you believe it! I have the same socks, with the same colored stripes.
Biggest problem: Main problem was the mesh for the nose-mouth-eyes group. Another problem was to make good textures without distortions. I found an easy way to remove distortion in textures using modeler! I have to make a tutorial about this very useful technique.
