I have started work on a dementor for a video project I am doing with my sister. For those who don’t know, a dementor is a creature from the world of Harry Potter that sucks all of the happiness out of people. Being the type of person who wants to torment my mom, I am making a video where a dementor attacks my younger sister. :evilgrin:
Anyhow, I began work on this, modeled the body off of some concept art I found in a book. Granted, the bottom portion of the model isn’t very well done, but the top half is all we really see. I’m working on the cloth texture, but i’m going to come back to that later. My current dilema is that I can’t figure out how to do the skin realistically. The image on the left is my version of the head, but i am trying to copy the texture from out of the image on the right. As you can see, I’m failing miserably.
So my question is this: how do i successfully pull off the rotting-flesh texture of a dementor, and make it photorealisitic(ish)? I will continue work, but any input anybody might have would be greatly appreciated!
Happy blending,
Austen
Note: My current texture consists of a rotting flesh image repeated over the whole mesh, as well as some basic bump mapping.
For a good texture (fyi decaying would be a better word then rotting, and it’s cloth not skin so I’d make the whole thing the same texture) I’d use this and put it on an image with about 20% opacity then put a dark color underneath it. like this
Thank you! I am going to play with this quite a bit until I get something good looking. As soon as I get something new I’ll post an image. For now though I have a quick question: You said that it’s actually cloth not skin so you would use the same texture for the whole thing. What exactly do you mean? Is the dementor completely covered in cloth? And do you mean that I should use the same texture for both the robe and the skin/cloth covered body? Thanks for your help!!!
