3d simulation of extinct biomes

Epizoans - I tried making this feature the hard way, but eventualy it was very simple, shells usualy have seaweed, reptaria used to grow on cephalopod shells like this one

 

Bringing Fossils to Life mentioned that if the crinoids are reconstructed with parasitic gastropods, then these crinoids should grow substantially smaller.

There is also a nice topic here on the forum showing brachipod epizoans

 

I added the basic support for now, it was important to work for static models like shells and animated models like the crinoid

Just found this thread. Very cool.  A game designer should hire you if they haven't already

Some time ago i made an ammonite for a cinematic production but i was not sure it may be used, i thing they are using it in a new season of Life on Earth: A New Prehistory

This is a short teaser posted by https://saint-thomas.net/

 

This is the model i made, it looks like they used different arms and animation that works better for their project but it's encouraging to see it's being used
