In Search of: Crustaceans!

Chameo

Hey, folks, I have a need for a crustacean figure for a scene I'm creating - crab, lobster, crawfish, anything that might look like it's crawling from the primordial ooze onto the land for the first time. I've seen what's available in the store (yes, I know how to do a search!) but was hoping maybe someone knows of an undersea environment or collection that might have something relevant.

Ok, this isn't exactly what you're asking for but may fit some element of what you are doing:

Back around 2012 I needed a crawfish for an image. Mjc did an unrigged freebie prop of one and posted it. It might be in the freebie section here.

Admittedly, that was several stores/forums/servers ago, but I think he's still here in the forums and might still have the file.

As a joke for Brits in the audience: King's Crustacean, or Charing Crustacean?

I've seen what's available in the store (yes, I know how to do a search!)

Were you using the store's own search, or one of the external engines? (Google, PoserContent, etc...)

The current store search is rocky at best, and knowing which you were using would help people know what you were likely to have already found.

I used store search this time, but thanks for the reminder.

It's not, but I do kinda love them. Just added it to my watch list for later purchase. Thanks!

If you want something bigger/fantastical, you can head over to Rendo and search for "Kraba" to find Dinoraul's fantasy Kraba figure.

There is a crustacean pack at Turbosquid but it is a little pricey:

used "crab" in the search box, came up with "Crab" by Polygonal Miniatures.

Gorgeous, but... yeah. Yikes! (I do get that there's a LOT to rigging a realistic crustacean, though)

Perfect! I've been away from rendering for a while and completely forgot about this. Thank you!

I'm rembering a set of Krill. They were listed as DAZ Originals. Here is the product page, which I got to from my purchase library.

I don't know whether it is still in the store, however. A store search didn't find them.

I think it may have been more reptilian than crustacean, like an axolotl, 

whatever climbed out of the primordial ooze that is...

maybe the vanished Biguana
