This rig has a very nice swim simulation on it. However, I found no facial rig other than a controller for both the mouth and eyes. It looks to be just a keyed blend and all you have to do is model out some other blends. Also the topology of the mesh it rather messy and is really only clean at the key areas of the model. Which is fine for just basic swim moves. But for a model that is suppose to be nimo, really needs to have clean topology everywhere. The texture is just a simple ramp and with some color changes, can actually look much like nimo.
I also found the controls to be rather confusing and very sensitive. A value of .1 made a huge difference when it comes to using the simulation.
over all this a very nice rig with a good swim simulation. it lacks actual character though and as it stands, can not do much with it other than make it swim.
