Organic Texture: Frog!

Slimy Frog - by Reina Elizondo

Dead Frog - by Reina Elizondo

This was textured in Maya. I used a combination of the SSS fast skin (for the frog) and Blinn (for everything else including the eyes).

I painted a base texture in Mari; I used this project as an excuse to start learning it. Unfortunately, time crunches meant I had to finish the details of the textures through Photoshop. The frog textures, were entirely painted in Mari and Photoshop. The lily pad and eye textures were composited in Photoshop from various web references. (The most recognizable of which was this lovely dead lily pad.

The model was from 3DVIA.com by Matku. Although it came without eyes.

What I found most challenging was the way the SSS shader effected displacement maps.  I'm happiest with the slimy look of the live frog.
