I couldn’t stop building this creature.
It started as a quick sculpt inspired by the Eye Midge from Alien: Earth, but it took on a life of its own. I built it for 3D print—then decided one pose wasn’t enough. So I rigged it. Animated it. Then gave it a procedural textures…. Now it’s fully rigged, animated, and ready for both digital scenes and physical 3D prints. You can grab the complete model, materials, and animation rig right here!
Included in this package:
- High poly (1M+) rigged and animated sculpt.
- Low-poly tentacle mesh - you can use this to rig, bake, and export to game engines.
- All procedural materials for the eyeball and tentacles, and baked textures for the tentacles. Iris texture.
- Complete rig for animation.
- Complete animation as seen in the video.
- Additional Blender file for compositing the "security cam" style footage from rendered frames.
- Additional Blender file for the final video edit.
- All rendered frames used to create final rendered video.
“Why isn’t it free?” I spent about three weeks creating this piece, and $7.99 barely scratches the surface of that time or experience—thirty years in graphics work doesn’t come cheap. I’m also planning to keep improving it: things like a low-poly version for game engines and VR, squishy and stretchy tentacles, and a more realistic eye system with real depth and refraction. If it were free, I’d have no reason to keep developing it further. Buying it helps support those updates and future projects. Thanks for valuing the work—it means a lot.
