These are some characters designed for my very first project when I was just starting out in 3D.
I thought I would revive them, update them, and think about a possible game with them.
I wanted to go for a cute, cartoon style, making caricatures of these iconic sea creatures.
If these were in a game, I would see it as a basic platformer where you would have to navigate a 2.5D terrain and attack/avoid enemies.
Some of these concepts are in the sketches.
Deep Sea Friends: Anglerfish and Blobfish (3d)
These models have had a Turbosmooth modifier added to them.
These two are best buddies!
A comedic swimming/bump animation.
There are issues importing rigs made of bones and control curves into Sketchfab, so have uploaded a video instead.
I added a lot more secondary animation, and made the transitions more subtle.
Deep Sea Friends: Seahorse in Environment (Animated)
This is a quick animation to give a feel for the character and environments.
