Turtle Barnacle - Chelonibia Testudinaria - Marine Low-poly 3D model

A realistic 3D model of Chelonibia testudinaria, commonly known as the turtle barnacle, created in Blender and designed for marine visualization, biofouling studies, or realistic environment design. This model captures the unique texture and organic asymmetry of a barnacle growing on marine surfaces — from sea turtles to ship hulls and rocks. Perfect for close-up renders, ocean environments, or scientific visualization projects.

A demonstration video shows the modeling and texturing process — including sculpting, shading, and placement on different surfaces. (The full environment and additional assets shown in the video are not included.)
