Leonopteryx textures for Avatar

This was a lot of fun because the use of heavy zbrush detail wasn't yet the norm, so all the wrinkling you see on the Leo body was applied as displacement via projection in Mari utilizing the amazing skin maps created at Weta. Lots of creative decision making left to me in terms of placement and style of scaling and skin surface detail. Lookdev by Robert Schrider. Model by Florian Fernandez.
