I wasn’t going to post again until it was finished but I thought others could use the skin alpha. I pulled it off a mole rat photo and it’s been real handy. About half the textures are stamp and the rest is hand. None of it is done as of yet even the finished looking areas. The stamped areas I touched up and added to as well. Some of the texture is far too strong. Obviosuly the teeth and such need work.
The color one was an earlier version but I wanted to play with the 2,5D aspects so I quickly did a colored one play with. The final version I want to use subsurface scattering on. The skin needs to be somewhat waxy, translucent. I’ll probably shelve it soon and wait until 2.5 to finish it. There’s a few areas like the inside of the mouth that need more polys. With more ram I can go up one more subdivision but I’d like to go two more levels. Parts of it have enough resolution now but most of it is a bit shy. I may wind up redoing 3/4 of the texture with the upgrade. It’s been my fun one to play with when I have an hour here or there.
