The #mutant #tardigrade guys, here it is. A little turntable /walk cycle I did. Creature design, modelling, texturing and animation by me. Rigged by @scott.brice . Special thanks to @charliet3r who nailed the displacement map just right and helped with tech issues along the way. I'm having some massive differences in contrast when comparing Nuke's viewer, my rendered .mov on my computer, and the same .mov on my phone. I hope it doesn't look extremely dark for you as it does for me here! . . . . #3dart #mayaautodesk #arnoldrender #3dstudent #creatureartist #turntable #characterdesign #character #monster #lookdev #3danimation #creature #walkingcycle #skillexchange https://www.instagram.com/p/B7nLbUogwzv/?igshid=rl0c6oe08owk

Manly beach has the most alien looking stingrays. Or mermaids, not sure what they are. But you certainly see them at night, if you stay for long enough.
