Alien Plant

Using reference images that I found I modeled an alien plant. The model includes outer leaves, vines, vine leaves, an attack vine, and pollen stalks. I decided to take the approach of having a tropical plant that attacks its prey if it feels threatened, and spawns more plants as pieces of the plant hit the soil after being damaged.

Here is the animation for the growth and attack of the plant.

Here are some screenshots of my plants' defense animation. I will post the video on Vimeo, as soon as my weekly upload space becomes available.
