Barnacle 3D Models

A nice ocean dive – this time into barnacles! 🌊 For my latest project, I explored biofouling in detail, creating three distinct barnacle models: Cornish Barnacle (Empty), Cornish Barnacle and Turtle Barnacle.

The models were built using a mix of polygonal modeling, sculpting, and shading in Blender, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into different surfaces and environments.

To push the realism further, I also created environmental variations – barnacles on rocks and columns, along with a full Barnacle Collection.

Plus, I recorded a timelapse video of the process, so you can check out how these tiny ocean dwellers came to life. 🎥
