This Short Barnacle Animation Was Inspired by the Half-Life Game
Looks very realistic.
Pat Goodwin, Lead Visual Developer at That's No Moon, shared on their ArtStation profile the Barnacle Hallway Vomit short animation, based on the Half-Life game.
They explained that it was sculpted in ZBrush and textured in Substance 3D Painter. The hallway is a room from the Marketplace, but he remade most of the materials and did some decals for the rot in the ceiling. The grading was done in DaVinci Resolve through openDRT.
The scene shows a barnacle, literally, vomiting, which looks very realistic.
Even though the scene is in a well-illuminated place, it looks kind of uneasy with the barnacles in the ceiling. In the Half-Life game, the barnacles are alien creatures that catch their prey with their sticky tongue-like thing.
Pat Goodwin is an artist who, for the past four years, has been working on the development of the game Crossfire. They shared on their ArtStation their participation in the announcement trailer that came out a few days ago.
