Mandalorian episode got me thinking, what if a Yoda got Xenomorphed. Not my usual wheelhouse so was interesting to test this workflow. Sculpt in Zbrush/Max, bake Ptex VDMs in Mudbox, Render in V-ray/Max.
At night they mostly come. Mostly.
ZBrush Sculpt
Got VDMs in Mudbox by rebuilding subdivision from Zbrush sculpt. Also did some Ptex paint work for the V-ray shaders.
Skinwrap is Bay for these cables. Tail pieces are just path constrained to a spline. Used Edit spline mod for different poses. Not all the pieces would rebuild to their lowest in Mud Box so just used the next level up, womp womp.
