Barotrauma: The Parasite (Animation)

This is a fan animation based off of the game Barotrauma, which is owned by FakeFish, Undertow Games, and Daedalic Entertainment.

For the past 7 months or so, I've been working on some 3D Barotrauma assets in Blender/Substance Painter. After numerous reworks, Tutorials, and likely a few missing hair follicles I've finally got them to a level of quality I'm happy with. I made this small video to give them a test run, and to help me slowly work my way up to some potentially bigger and more ambitious projects. This is my first time using mostly my own models for a project, so they are far from perfect. Any experienced 3D artist could probably tell they were made by an amature, but if people express enough interest I'll likely release my models to the public for free. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if they need some tweaking/improvements after the fact.

Also, speaking of models. Though most of the ones featured in this video are mine, I did download a couple and figured I would credit them here. I especially recommend the GeoCables and Geometry Nodes Pipes. Both are free (actually all of these are free) and they really brought my submarine to life. Below are the appropriate credits for others assets that made my project much better.

I'm not sure what my next project will be. Currently I'm considering another Halo one so I can take a break from having to make so many models, but I'll very likely be making more baro animations for sure if people seem to like this one. If you have any questions or recomendations for me, feel free to leave them in the comments. Have a good one, and take it easy .

John Trauma goes schizo mode (he will unload all of the coilguns)

You know you played too much barotrauma when you can recognize the dugond even in 3d with just 2 rooms

[mattstorm]

I love that ending. You expect some dramatic music, a scream, or a jump scare.

No. It just turns and looks at you. "Hi."

Things I loved:
-The Dive suit
-The interior
-The door
-The sounds
-The husk
-Etc

This is giving me some SOMA / Dead Space vibes
_shivers_
Well done..

3D Barotrauma could be the one of the best climatic horrors of all time

[CommodoreTyrannosaurusTux]

Can't imagine how long it took to get/make all these assets

[Paulysolo]

It's crazy how scary a crawler coming through a flooded deck is in first person when in the game it's a nuisance.

[barney]

The husk transformation animation could have been alot more brutal but overall quality was still nice considering you made the majority of the assets, i like the end part alot with the red light and the husk turning to the camera.

[holtonlol]

It's awesome seeing this finished, I remember you showing me the very beginning of this awhile ago. Very impressive man.

[Epic_Eggroll]

This is a perfect representation of why barotrauma is called a horrorgame. If there would actually be a 3D version it would insanely scary because of the atmosphere and reduced vision and omnidirectional sound.

SIMON! YOU ARE THE SNAKE, NOW STRIKE AT THE HEART!

[JAMeep-xxvv]

Gentlemen. The clown got hold of the calyx eggs.

[Duspende]

God I really want a 3D Barotrauma made in Unreal...

[PocketDrummer]

It'd be cool if you made an extended version where he tries to get Calyxanide out of the medical cabinet, but he doesn't have access. :P

[Clan_Universe]

Holy- as someone who made a 3d model of the Husk, I gotta say, Your Interpretation of the Diving suit design is Top Notch man! and the way the Junctions look... Holy Mother of Tormsdale's aftermath! This is some top quality stuff! And don't think I didn't notice that damn crawler! I'd love to see more of this, 3D barotrauma is something that everybody wants to see!

(also I'm showing this to all my friends with the slightest interests in the game because DAMN this is good)

[omicrondelta]

Reminds me of the game SOMA. Impeccable horror game. Unironically the best phycological horror game ever made.

[sparkyboi]

I love the atmosphere of the submarine so much, while playing, i never really thought of just how claustrophobic submarines are, this animation landed the feeling of it perfectly, and i love it

[bakedpotato]

If a 3d barotrauma came out it would be the scariest shit in the history of video games

[twistsnakeanklesvids]

Awesome work, the details in the sub, the swinging cables, the flickering junction boxes, just so cool. ^_^ I hope Undertow has seen this.
