Pudge looks awesome to work for. Sleeves, you say... his whole left arm is an item!

Blocking in some geo here and there...

That fork has got to hurt.

REKLAS

Scarecrow huh? Cool. Fattest scarecrow ever!

Sith Happens.

some early tests for diff sculpts for the mask shape, polycount capped at 300 polys for the head and 256x128 texture proved very challenging for such a large area to cover on this design...

Sith Happens.

Had to get clever and mirror as much as possible, including the cloth pieces hanging out from past the neck rope. Using one single cloth piece made and using cutouts from the head itself.
Also did a bunch of tests trying to see how many teeth worked best and at what size from the top in game view.

alphas and UV mirroring

Loving the idea and updates agree with ^

This looks great so far. I'm loving the UV trickery for the alphas too. I can't even tell the alphas have reused texture space. Would you mind posting the texture you are using for the alpha at some point? I'd like to see it for learning purposes. I can't wait to see more.

Sith Happens.

Sure thing, a good trick to make the mirrored sections look more unique is to move the verts some and deform the mesh a bit without warping the UVs too much.

Damn that's one creepy dude. Really nice. And that tip on making mirrored stuff more interesting, is cool. Keep up the great work!

Clyptic

That looks awesome!

artquest

Lovin' it! especially since today is Halloween... or was... man I'm up too late tonight!

Can't wait to see more of this.

UglyMuffin

The texturing is looking great. Also, thank you for posting the texture sheet for the alphas, it really helped me see how you modeled the head.

Zoltan

Looking really good so far.
Did you check if Pudge supports alpha textures? As far as I know some character support alphas some doesn`t, I might be wrong though.

Sith Happens.

I think the dota2 in-game compiler makes an alpha by default in the VMT since you have to export with the alpha channel even if you are not using it, at least it has with some barb wire and hay tests I ran on the body & arms.
Thanks for the kind words guys. ^^

I really hope Pudge supports alpha channels

Sith Happens.

He does

AndrewHelenek

awesome!, cant wait to see this bad boy in game, looks great!

Sith Happens.

z!

danidem

aw yeah! Can't wait to see it done!

Repter

Looks pretty good

Drywall

I really love this set. I can't wait to see it finished up.

Bit more color, wip

Clyptic

Looks awesome! I know this is a whip, but make sure an add more color variation to the sack on the head and arms. Looks really flat as is.

Sith Happens.

C: For sure! , I just need to be careful because the hay I have planned will become a conflict of detail, specially once the slight spec is on the sack head/arms.

selvesteHE

Flippin sweet

D4V1DC

As clyptic states more color otherwise really nice updates!
^guess go for a cool color with the sacks and a warm for the hay or vice versa.

Sith Happens.

Oh the hay I was referencing is gonna be the next item on him, replacing the back slot. And its going all over his open skin ares (arms/belly/back) :O

Also, I bring gifts!

Here's the alpha mask I made for his stitches in zBrush. Feel free to snag it, it does the opening between the stitches as well! Just use the move tool to diversify the openings here and there!

Boonta

niiiiiiiiiiiice!
