"The Gazer" Textures

MJ007

Ive been trying to find the pack containing additional textures for the Gazer however my searches are turning up empty.
Have they been removed or is the search still broken?

I was wondering the same thing. I bought the Gazer a while back, but couldn't find the texture set anywhere. A Google search was fruitless too.

There was an extra texture set for it?

I've had it forever, but never really used it. I've got the templates, which are still available from the product page...they don't look too complex, so what exactly are you looking for in the way of textures?

The "Ultimate Gazer Pack" from the vendor Matthew Yetter with the old product code: ps_tx134b and the SKU: 225 has the following features:

1 New CR2 File
2 New Morph Targets to Enlarge the Iris and Create Inflatable Lung Sacs
3 Bump Maps (1 at 1600x1600 and 2 at 512x512)
6 High Quality Texture Maps (1600x1600) for the Body
    Matching 512x512 Maps for the Claw and Sucker Appendages 
8 Colorations for the Main Eye
10 Colorations for the Minor Eyes
28 MAT files, Making Color Changes a Snap:
    1 for Each Body Coloration
    1 for Each Main Eye Coloration
    1 for Each Minor Eye Coloration, all Minor Eyes the Same Color
    3 Non-Repeating Minor Eye Combinations
    1 Reset to Put All Colors Back to the Ultimate Gazer Default
    Full Color rsr Files for all Settings

That should be the searched one, unfortunately it is not in the store and also the vendor is not listed anymore.

It's part of the Fantasy Creature bundle...so it's still around, unlike the creeper.

I purchased it years and years and years ago under a different email addy that I let expire and is gone :( The gazer was another of those uniquely fun figures :)

Well, here's the start of a texture...

I wasnt looking for textures persay. A potential client was asking me about color options as well other eye stalk options for it. I was explaining to them I was aware of a package where they could not only see the other stalk options (sucker pad and claw), but the color options. Now, it appears they may want me to remove the stalks all together.

But if other textures are made for this guy, color me interested!

Here's another render...a bit of progress.

Still have the claws and suckers to do. I've got the displacement a little too 'high' right now and I still need to blend the stalks to the main body. I'll probably just post these as a set of jpeg files, instead of material presets.

And another render...still not quite happy with the blending of the stalk to the body, but getting there...

Other than some renders and packaging, I'm done with it...two displacement/bump maps, 3 colors (red/orange, brown, green), eye, claws, sucker pads, I haven't decided to just supply as grouped jpgs (colors and associated disp map) or actually make up some presets....I'd do both DS3/Poser and DS4.5 ones. The 4.5 ones would be full material presets, with Ubersurface settings (SSS, translucency, etc), the DS3 ones would just be basic.

I really like what you're doing. Excellent work!

MJ007

Absolutely awesome! When you get a chance, can you post renders of all color options?
