Crab

3D Model

Model of a ‘Dark Finger Reef Crab’.
Source model downloaded from: http://threedscans.com/

For me, this was an experiment in mesh optimization, UV Layout, and painting. Check out the wireframe to see how low-res the geometry is.

I optimized the source scanned model down from to 2 million verts to 10k verts, then (painstakingly) laid out UVs and projected normals from the Hi-res model. I then painted the model in Substance Painter.
