Stinger88: I really didn't know what to name this set and took a while to come up with the name. Your suggestions is good.
cottonwings: I'm glad you notice the starfish. Originally barnacles where on his head and amongst the seaweed, but it was hard to make it look right at a distance.
Vayne4800: Thanks, the design was the hardest part.
Spudnik: The crab back's budget is 400 tris in game with a 128 x 256 texture. A crab has 8 legs and 2 claws, challenging considering the poly and texture limit. I mirrored as much UVs as possible.
Godzy: Thanks, I'm glad you like it and that its your favourite Tide set!
ILM: Sorry to hear that, parts of the spec channels are pure white. It may be the angle? Anyway I hope you will like the next one.

I feel because it Tidehunter. Maybe it should be call the Salvage Survival set? Just a thought...
Tide's budgets are pretty shitty and the back has a texture limit of only 128x256. It's one of the most messed up heroes to make items for.
Anyway great job mate, it's by far my favorite tide "collection" thanks to that gorgeous orange.
