Last week, I decided to screw around with an unused model of Davy Jones found within the phase files of the long-defunct Pirates of the Caribbean Online (shut down 2013).

The original model was extremely unfinished, lacking a face texture and correct assignations for its LOD (Level of Detail) submeshes, meaning they were all imported at once once I had gotten them in Blender; and even worse, all in a single mesh.

I proceeded to restore the texture for Davy Jones' face, clean up some issues with his geometry, then removed all of his LOD submeshes manually. This process took a while; over the course of the week. Now, I've finished him and I figured I'd post the fish face here to showcase.
