Tentacle Dude

Polyjunky

Hey everyone. I'm making a model to try out some things in Painter and Toolbag so thought I'd make a thread of my progress as it were. Got a concept off CreatureBox, I thought this guy was pretty cool.





I've already got the high res done. Started out with the usual tools in Zbrush, dynamesh, curve tube brushes and a bit of sculpting. 



Side view:



Refined it, polypainted and rendered it out in Keyshot and ended up with this:



Time to retopologize. 

Polyjunky

Retopology done. 

Mateus

Great! Love the render.

Polyjunky

Thanks Mateus. UVs done, time to bake. Will try out the new UDIM feature in SP.

I was just about to say I recently saw someone do this concept, and it was you haha! Looking ace! Are you planning on rigging him? 

theStoff

Looks really cool and accurate! It's a bit late now but I would of said the trunk could of used more wrinkles at the bend. Also if you do plan to rig/animate it, it would be a good idea to model the trunk out straight.

Polyjunky

Thanks guys. No plan to rig or animate. Just wanted to make a game res version otherwise I would have made a straight trunk.

Polyjunky

Some Substance shots, trying some wetness on his skin.

Tim Lewis

This little guy is cool. The wetness feels appropriately slimy for his trunk/tentacle, but I'd try and make it a little less uniform across his body.

Polyjunky

Cheers TIm. Here's the final version of the Tentacle Dude. Lot's of fun exploring PBR in Substance and Marmoset.
There's also a viewer on Artstation.

I wonder if the Creature Box guy would be upset if I gave a concept sketch a try at recreation in 3D, that's so beautiful!

Polyjunky

Thanks.  As long as you credit them,  they don't seem to mind their concepts interpreted into 3D.

Oh cool! Hey once I'm done I'd love your critique in your spare time. Your renders are phenomenal. I googled CreatureBox and decided on a couple illustrations. Thanks

Question, how did you retopo this character? Did you use ZRemesher or did you do it by hand?

He looks great! I could see myself cuddling him.

Got sent a picture of my Tentacle Dude hanging in the Gnomon Art of Substance gallery at the recent Substance Days event with some other awesome artists. Never been in a real gallery before. So cool to see!
