Bathing Elephant Re-Named to... Love at First Sight now COMPLETE!

I know I said that my next image was going to be another landscape, well I though that I would work realy hard at this one, so I decided to create an elephant bathing in water next to an old tree. Only the head done so far, thought I would share as I am very pleased with it. This took two and a half hours, i didn’t drop and then paint with Zadd for a change (which is always good for texture) instead I managed to manipulate a material into looking like elephant skin and also created an elephant skin alpha which was painted on to the head using TM. This is going to be a long night!!

sweet job!!
Ive been trying to use texture master to make textures instead of just dropping and painting. Could you post a script on how you textured that using just texture master? I would really like to know so i can make fabulous textures for my models that even have wrinkles and stuff. I normally make a basic texture in TM, drop to canvas, and use zsub to make wrinkles and stuff. How did you manage that using only TM? Thanks.

Okay nearly finished the elephant part of this image, still need to soften some of the joins. I did use Zadd on the complete elephant, to add a little extra detail. As far just using TM is conserned, well I think most of the credit goes to the actual material, of recent I have found that the materials are the most important factor in achieving the image you want. The one I used here can be found in the Pixolators material pack (thanx Pix) I just modified it to get It just right for me. I will post the alpha and the material when I complete the full image, it time for some sleep now.zzzzzzzzzz

This is incredible. I like the hairs on the face and trunk. I’ve seen pictures of elephants with big soulful eyes. I hope you put those in too.
