Blobkin Blaster VR - Trash Vacuum

I was tasked with designing a handheld, underwater, trash vacuum for VR. I had so much fun with this model and honestly, I am really proud of how it turned out. Sadly the game mechanic that required the model was cut, and with it, this model.

Polycount: 14,208 tris

I'll be the first to admit that the Lowpoly version could probably be reduced a lot more.

Different ideas for the filter on the bottom of the machine.

Concept sketches and the early rough models.

Proposed animation for the moving parts.
