Continuing with the easy Pokemon! also, Inspired by another Keiji Kinebuchi card from the Pokemon base set, and the fantastic clay-mation Starmie by Yuka Morii
Starmie can look quite hard in some designs, and the gem should probably hard, but they're also kinda starfish, so I wanted to make that part look squishy.
Ive tried using real soft body physics simulation, which I normally avoid. I used a low polly proxie to run the simulation on and the mesh deform modifier to transfer it to the final mesh. It worked okay, but I think I prefer the fake/ hand animated squish that I have been using (at least when I don't need collisions or complex interactions)
