This is really inspiring! It looks like you made some awesome barnacle IMM brushes!
The materials look interesting, perhaps a tutorial..?

Conratulations on your video.

This is great and I loved the video.
This was a game 20 years ago? Am I reading that right?





Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words man! Happy to be an inspiration! I actually didn't use any IMM brushes in this piece at all. Most of the work had already been created in ZB4R3, so... before IMM was implemented. Every tiny piece of coral was created using Masking and FiberMesh! Most of the Materials I used for the environmental pieces (and Ecco) were all 'SkinShade4' and Eel had a combination of SkinShade4 and a custom metallic material. A variation on the metallic material I used on my J.G. AWOL Snail -see this video for a closer look at it!

Perhaps I will make a tutorial or two down the road! We'll see...! Thanks again for the supportive words!
Cheers!

Hey Mealea!


Thank you so much for expressing your enjoyment of my work! Yes, "Ecco The Dolphin" was a video game originally released for the Sega Genesis console toward the end of July in 1992 (I was 9 years old & fell in love with it! ...among other classics like Sonic the Hedgehog 2). It garnered a sequel in 1994 "Ecco: The Tides of Time" and then an eventual [BEAUTIFUL] remake of sorts on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. You can find out more about them hereif you like. =)

Thanks again for sharing your feelings!

This is pretty cool but the proper spelling is "Atlantean."
