Ahoy, so here's the deal: I'm hoping for a little help from the community if at all possible. A couple months ago I decided to make a 3D model for the kraken since it doesn't have a body and I just finished the modeling portion, now I have to texture it and I'm basing the rest of the body off of the tentacles, but there aren't too many great pictures of the tentacles to get me a closer look at the texture on them so I can do my best to replicate them. So my request is this: if anyone by chance has any in-game pictures of the kraken's tentacles pretty close up and with decent enough lighting, could you link them here? Also, for anyone who isn't already aware, RARE has concept art for the kraken's body and that's what my model is based off, except it uses the in-game tentacle ends instead of the finned ones in the concept art.
A polite contract from the pitiful Wraith 04
@mr-dragon-raaar Yeah I don't fully expect that anyone will have much there but I figured I'd ask anyway, cause unfortunately I'm not half as good at texturing as I am at modeling, so better pictures would really help me out. I'll post a couple pictures of the model here so everyone has an idea of what I'm doing.
@khompewtur Yeah that part is very weird, but another thing that's weird is that the concept art gives the kraken 6 main tentacles, rather than 8, meaning it either has 7 mouths, or I guess 9
Nice modeling and concept here! It does fits the skull structure of the kraken.
I had thoses ideas when seeing your model. If you don't mind reading me.
I don't know if this will help...
taking in consideration the already in game mechanics to create your concept and model.One thing about the tentacles is that they're all the same size and can change place all around the ink pool.
Also, if there is a main body, there is a need for weak spots to think of. This creature is not limited to conventional art, i mean by that, more eyes can be added, some blowholes on it like the whales so they can throw water like spray to the players to make them fall off or even ink spray.
There is also the fact that the tentacles provoke a suction effect to the players... From what and where does he do that? Big lungs maybe, a bigger stomack and more can come to mind.
But that is only if we want it to be more realistic considering all that.About the colors, i think the color effect from the megalodon can be used here, that glowing effect, can be used to make the weak points more apparent.
Well with that have fun with your modeling and see you on the seas!
