This model has a lot of great things going for it. Not only is it a very good model, accurately capturing the Pokemon character, but it is also using a very clever animation principle which is used in its face. The eyes and mouth of Chikoriat are just made from transparent plains the fit to the mesh of the body and then the texture of the eyes and mouth of projected onto these plains. To then get different facial expressions the UV offset is being animated to different positions of the texture. This is a clever skill used any time you have a 2D face.

This toxic biohazard barrel model is a model asset that I wanted to create for a game project that I have been wanting to make involving zombies. I used Blender 2.8 and Photoshop to create this model and then I imported it into Unity. This model is so far the most successful model I have created. It was not too hard to create but it was a lot of fun. My favorite part about this model is the emission mask which looks extra cool with the post-processing bloom effect. I can just imagine this barrel being in an epic zombie game like Dying Light and the slime only showing it’s glow at night.

If you want to get familiar with modeling with blender I would highly recommend starting with something simple like this biohazard barrel as it is not very complex yet you can add a lot of character to your barrel

The source I found to be the most helpful with creating this biohazard barrel model were these two videos by the Blender Guru

Here are some time-lapses of the creation process for this model.
