Hello,

Saw some questions about my texturing.

I make my UVs mostly manually. There are a lot of good automatic uv tools and plugins out there, and pelt mapping and mayas new unwrap UV are very interesting. I still prefer to do a lot of it by hand though. I really like the UVs to look like the actual geometry as much as possible, makes it so much easier to paint textures. Sometimes I even paint parts of the texture first like I want it to look, like the mouth, and the I just match the uvs to fit the texture, and not the other way around, some how I find that better then having absolute perfect, stretch free uvs… at least its more artistic.

I then start out painting my base colors in zbrush (while doing my displacment), and after that I take that image into Photoshop to add finer details. For this project I kept my textures rather small, the biggest one is the Bump and diffuse texture at 2k. Im really sick and tired of huge texture maps since they slow things down and no matter how highres they are they always break up when you come to close…
So this time I kept the textures the small details (such as pores) into separate, tilable, maps at a 512 pixels. I used a couple of skin pores and wrinkle maps and then I used some even smaller masks to blend them all together.
One 2k texture is 16 1/2K textures… and since they are all tileable you can go really close without the textures breaking up.
It works fine for this sort of character, but its a lot harder for more realistic human characters.

I also used a lot of proceduals and “render to texture” in max to create my base textures. Good way to avoid seams.
I attached my diffuse texture and one of my tileable pore maps to this post.

Hi Jonas,

I really loved everyting, from concept itself to so well done modelling, texturing and setup.
It invites my imagination so I can’t wait to see more about this.

See you later,
Carles

joder jonas, es totalmente creible, tiene una anoatomia acojonante, que de bocatas de calamar salen de este bicho. un saludo de mis partes.

That is …AWESOME!!! The realism in the overall composition is fantastic. Attention to detail and colours really sell it. Have you got any wires of the model or wip of the scene?

The shader is stunning…this is a flawless masterpiece of imagination.
