hi!
im trying to make a crocodile but i need sme good alphas for the scales.
does anyone have some and would like to share them?
i want something looking like this:
please help me.
thx found some for the smaler scales.
but do you have any for the larger and the very edged ones?
i do…check highend3d, gnomon, digital tutors, and a ton of other places…turbo squid, 3dtotal…etc.
google some images of scales as well and make some…or you can search for scale bumpmaps as well.
didnt found any that look like the ones on the back and the neck. 
so sculpt 1 scale, drop it to canvas, and do an alpha grab, or use the MRGB grabber brush and make an alpha to get all the others.
but if i try it it never looks that good… 
try and try again
could someone do the very edged ones on the neck for me please?
They look pretty much like Alpha 18 in the Alpha palette. You could use that as a starting point.

)))))) lol ))) man you gotta achieve your :b4:OWN experience!:b4:
So, Good Luck 
use dem brains ))))
didnt noticed that.
thanks!
Another thing you might try is the ‘Tracks1’ brush from the Brush palette. Just switch on Draw>ZAdd (instead of ZSub) to get the right effect. You will then be able to sculpt curved lines of scales. Adjust the Z Intensity to get the right depth. Then use the Move brush to push the scales around a bit so that they are distorted according to flesh folds and so on.
nice.
thanks for that hint!
