Cuddlefish character (Subnautica)

Hey guys little side project I am currently doing a few projects, I plan to release this as a free asset in the resources section currently I have it fully retopologized and i am moving on to texturing currently love to here your guys feedback as I don’t play Subnautica.

I am currently working on a free library as I create all the assets in my artwork from scratch, this leads to me having a lot of assets I will often don’t reuse, so rather then wasting them I figure I will collect the best assets from my artworks and put them on drive for free, I do plan to later move them to Gumroad however I will always strive to keep it free and up to date as I improve in 3D.

Life long goal I have been wanting to create a free library for years.:blush:
(target goal for release late 2026-2027)

Here it is so far, hope you guys enjoy and have great week thanks for reading!

hey guys i decided to re-sculpt it and add more details before texturing as i figured i could likely do a better job with a bit more work, so the new one is more detailed and ready for texturing.

Love to hear what you guys think.

Almost done with it, what do you guys think so far?
he is now fully retopologized and rigged with many main controls and granular controls, selection sets, IK, FK, plenty of shape keys, PBR maps for easy tweaking, a emission shader that allows certain skin to glow with a easy slider for turning it on or off, i am looking forwards to releasing it for you guys.:smiley:

I did try to color code, name and use certain widgets for certain controls to keep everything organized, if anyone has any tips for making rigs better I would love to hear them!

For this I am using cycles.:+1:

Finished the character!
I hope you guys enjoy it and thanks for following along!

Very cool! :grinning_face:
