Net Pod - Alien Organism

A stylized alien organism designed for underwater environments, created as part of a personal Unity project and a larger Sea Model Pack. The Net Pod is built around a simple but coherent biological concept, with each visual element serving a defined purpose within the creature's fictional ecology.

Design & Concept
The organism consists of two main parts. The inner body is a gel-like translucent sphere housing the creature's organs and vital functions. Being naturally buoyant, the sphere is encased in a sprawling fibrous net that anchors the organism to rocks or other surfaces on the seabed. The netting doubles as a feeding mechanism, passively capturing microscopic plankton, debris, and small creatures like tadpoles or newly hatched fish. A faintly glowing organ sits inside the gel sphere, serving as a lure to draw in small prey.

Textures & Materials
Fully game-ready with a complete baked texture set including diffuse, roughness, normal, emission, emission strength, and transmission maps. The alpha channel is packed into the diffuse texture as a PNG, keeping the asset clean and easy to integrate.

Part of the Sea Model Pack
Created alongside the Alien Kelp and Chimney Mushroom as part of a cohesive set of stylized underwater organisms, built for use in real-time environments.

Ideal for alien ocean floors, sci-fi underwater scenes, deep-sea biomes, and stylized nature environments.
