I have never had headfruit.  I don’t even know where to get headfruit around here.  But man, headfruit sure sounds delicious.  🙂

I have grown my little Elowan from scratch!  I’m pretty proud of myself, I must say.  Everything here is built and texture mapped by me, nothing came from the Internet.  To be fair, the Elowan turned out to be a pretty simple model… not a lot of detail.

This is the Elowan in the original game:

Basically, it is nothing more than some scaled spheres and tapered cylinders boolean’d together and mesh smoothed.  All the texture maps were generated using Filter Forge and Substance Player, with a lot of work done in Photoshop.

As usual, here are the screenshots of the work in progress, and a video of the final Elowan in Unity!
