A handcrafted 3D column covered with three distinct barnacle models (Cornish Barnacle (Empty), Cornish Barnacle, and Turtle Barnacle), designed for highly detailed marine or biofouled environments. The model is built with clean topology, efficient UVs, and high-quality PBR textures to ensure stability and flexibility in both real-time and rendered projects.
A timelapse demonstration video was created to showcase the modeling, sculpting, and texturing process.
