3d total Game art Challenge 31

The game art challenge 31, consisted of making a bug. Here is my take on the matter. This challenge lasted 2 weeks, and i worked on this 23 hours ( every nigth for a whole week)

Project break down!

Modeled inside of softimage 7.1 and zbrush 3.5. I tried using some of the new zbrush zshphere 2 features to sketch out the insect. After wards i took that inside of softimage and cleaned up. Textures were painted inside of zbrush, retouched in photoshop.

Normal maps were not permited in the comp. I used the green channel (Y) to bake into my diffuse textures. I used zbrush's 3.5 ambient occlusion alphas to bake the ambien occlusion. The specualar was completly done in zbrush. All maps are 1024x1024. The diffuse is a 32 bit map, with embedded alpha.

The polycount limit was 1000 tris. In the end my polycount ended up being 995 tris!
