Walking Cactus

Artwork Finished Projects

I started this project a while back to practice some basic rigging and to experiment with stylized texturing.

In the end I used a single handpainted texture with box mapping for all the materials, with some changes in the shader for different colors and surfaces. Quick and dirty but I think it works.

All feedback is welcome!

That’s cute and I like what you made out of the concept.
The only problem is, I want to see it do more things! Like run or walk sideways like a crab.

greetings, Kologe

Thanks Kologe, maybe I’ll add more animations in the future!

Very nice! Kinda cute. I feel that the cactus could’ve had some more love. It’s kinda in the background at the moment. Perhaps make the greens warmer and the flowers (?) more pink, to make it stand out more.

Yes I think you’re right, I should have spent a little more time on the cactus. Thanks for the feedback!
