It's surprisingly relaxing to learn I'm not the only one who shudders when looking this plant with pores.This is kinda weird,just realized even there's a name for that feeling.
tweaking hell. put the arms in a more relaxed position. dunno, maybe i should redo the normal maps for the arms and legs. not happy with the eyes either.
The times I've tripped have been more relaxing than this, but that's fine, have a great 2015 to yourself and people you like - and everyone in the house of Polycount.
There is texture stretching going on. You gotta relax your uvs. you usually want all the squares on your checker map to be the same size and proportional.
The easiest way would be to stop using seams! Select edges and 'break' them, then use peel/relax. Wtf are seams for anyway? that useless pelt function?
Search for "planar-mapping". This is what you need. Just make planar maps for the 2 sides and 1 mapping for the top, front and rear. Then relax everything.
