Finally, my last monster of the 10 monster series! All of these monsters are going to be animated for Unity3d and available on my website, as well as Turbosquid and Sketchfab. This guy took a fair amount of time. Since it was the last in the series, and the wasp base model (I created years earlier) was decent quality, I decided to put in more effort. The challenge with any low-poly model is of course retaining detail. I’m very glad this part of my production marathon is over. ...

View on TurboSquid → AO-Maru Friendly Robot Design Reboot The AO-Maru Reboot marks the return of one of Leo Blanchette’s most recognizable characters — a modernized take on the original AO-Maru Legacy Series robot. This version combines nostalgic character design with upgraded 4K materials, rigging, and lighting fidelity, ideal for modern rendering and game engines. Created in Blender 2.79, AO-Maru now benefits from a cleaner topology and more flexible rigging system. The model’s structure was refined to express a sense of friendly artificial intelligence — a robot designed for positive interaction rather than intimidation. ...

View on TurboSquid → Professional Parasite The Professional Parasite is a darkly humorous 3D character — part monster, part metaphor — representing the “business leech” archetype in suit and tie. Created in Blender 2.79, it’s game-ready, rigged, and designed for use in satirical, stylized, or horror-tinged scenes. This model was designed to render easily right out of the box, using Blender’s Internal Renderer with a built-in HDRI environment. It can also be exported to other engines via FBX without loss of texture or topology integrity. ...

View on TurboSquid → Insectoid Crab Monster: The Rikayon The Rikayon is an insectoid sea monster, equal parts crustacean and alien — a fully rigged and animated 3D asset designed for games, cinematics, and digital art. Created in ZBrush and retopologized in Blender 2.79, this creature was built to be both game-ready and visually rich, maintaining an efficient topology while supporting detailed animation. The model features 20 unique animations, including walks, attacks, rests, and idle loops — each tuned for creature-behavior realism. Its 4096×4096 texture set (color, normal, and specular) ensures clarity at both macro and mid-distance scales. ...

View on TurboSquid → Dampwood Termite Soldier Created in July 2016, this dampwood termite soldier captures the armored head, mandibles, and segmented body of the species with a balance of realism and performance. Built in Blender 2.77 and shaded for Cycles, it’s suited for close-ups, educational stills, and nature scenes. Topology: 5,718 polygons / 5,688 vertices UVs: Non-overlapping, clean unwrap Textures/Maps: Color, bump, subsurface scattering, and transparency Formats: Blender 2.77 (.blend), FBX, OBJ Rigging: Not rigged; ready for your own rig or pose workflow Workflow Notes ...

View on TurboSquid → Dampwood Termite Worker This dampwood termite worker model represents one of the most accurate digital reconstructions of this species created for general use. Built in Blender 2.77 with Cycles shading, it is fully UV unwrapped with non-overlapping UVs and includes color, bump, transparency, and subsurface scattering maps. Its polycount (5,485 polygons / 5,435 vertices) makes it light enough for large population scenes — ideal for swarming or environmental simulation renders. ...

View on TurboSquid → Wasp or Hornet A high-detail insect model from August 2012, built during Blender’s early Cycles era — when physically-based lighting first hit open-source pipelines. The mesh emphasizes believable anatomy and hand-painted patterning for macro-level realism. Topology: 71,040 polygons / 72,070 vertices Textures: UV mapped, non-overlapping, with 4096×4096 maps Formats: Blender 2.63, OBJ, FBX, 3DS Renderer: Set up for Blender Cycles Rigging: Not rigged; rig in your DCC of choice. Multires/bump can be used for displacement detail Usage & Workflow Notes ...

View on TurboSquid → Sunflower Seeds – Fibonacci Sequence This 3D model demonstrates the Fibonacci sequence in nature, visualized through a spiral arrangement of sunflower seeds. Each seed is placed according to a mathematical pattern found in real sunflowers, using 987 instances — itself a Fibonacci number — for both realism and precision. Created in Blender 2.61, this model is ideal for scientific visualization, mathematical illustration, or natural design rendering. It includes both a complete spiral seed array and a single sunflower seed for flexible use in close-ups or educational materials. ...

View on TurboSquid → Landscaping Hard Hat Helmet This landscaping hard hat helmet was modeled in Blender 2.6 and represents a realistic safety helmet with a detachable protective visor. It’s a versatile model that can serve both industrial and environmental design contexts — from construction scenes to safety training simulations. The mesh includes medium-resolution subdivision geometry (8,440 polygons / 8,602 vertices) and is UV unwrapped with non-overlapping UVs. Textures and PSD files are included for maximum customization. ...

View on TurboSquid → AO-Maru – Friendly Blue Robot (Legacy Series) AO-Maru is the original friendly blue robot mascot, first appearing in Leo Blanchette’s stock illustration work before becoming a available as a 3d model. Part of the Legacy Series, this model represents the transition from still-image mascot to fully rigged, animatable asset — a hallmark of the early 2010s internet aesthetic. Created in Blender 2.59 and exported to standard formats (OBJ, FBX, 3DS), AO-Maru was designed to be both brandable and functional: a figure of optimism and curiosity from a time when “AI” still meant Adobe Illustrator. ...
