Apart from that it looks like the colossi sigil (weak spot you stab) and seems to represent Wander's tribe.

Where you just press the putty over the piece. If you want really good detail you'll need a material you can pour over the piece like Smooth On sells. Here's a good FAQ, and you can always call them and tell them your specific needs.

Here's what I've done so far. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/Scrybe_bucket/WIPTextureStamps_zps98bd1d5f.jpg <br />I make the basic tile then make a mold (the pink things in the picture) of that so I can stamp out as many as I need. I can see I got fairly close on the decorative emblem, but it's good to know the center is a hexagon and not a circle. And now I can make out what's going on on the side of the thighs. <br /><br />This brings me back to my days working on PS2 games... oh man, the 64x64 and 128x128 textures! Aaaah! I work on Guild Wars 2 now and get to make 2048s sometimes! <br /><br />Now my dreams will be complete if I could get some nice close ups of Barba in T-Pose without the collision showing. Here's an example of what I mean. You can see the flat gray polygons covering the hooves and hands/part of the wrist in these images.<br /><br />http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/Scrybe_bucket/WIPReferenceCollisionProblem_zps5f0a6ba6.jpgJosh Foremanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522491775240272109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160072196808789891.post-22629472784625297712013-09-29T10:49:03.186+10:002013-09-29T10:49:03.186+10:00Sorry for this,I always use this format for compre...Sorry for this,I always use this format for compressing files before sharing<br />Here,I uploaded them to a folder> bit.ly/1eQmJrm<br /><br />They were extracted from the game's files so there is no bigger resolution I'm afraid.<br /><br />Great work btw,in this pic he looks like a zombie version of Barba lolNemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036453294302804350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160072196808789891.post-29229537950028731842013-09-29T07:08:55.749+10:002013-09-29T07:08:55.749+10:00So tantalizingly close!

I'm about half-way through (70 hours and counting!) a 4 foot tall sculpture of Barba, and I'm just now getting into the nitty gritty of the armor bits. Your pictures are a real life saver! All I've been working with are really blurry screen caps and the tiny pictures in the official art book. I was wondering how powerful that program your grabbing the shots from is. For example, can you get shots without the collision mesh showing? (It's hiding some of the textures on the hands and feet.) Can you grab the texture sheets? I've got a pretty good idea about how the UVs are laid out since I'm a game artist professionally, but it would be super helpful to get a look at the textures without the blitting and mirroring and squashing and stretching. <br /> <br />For a little referece, here’s the kind of sculpting I do: http://scrybe.deviantart.com/gallery/45890185Josh Foremanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522491775240272109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160072196808789891.post-15939216294544765382013-03-29T10:57:07.783+11:002013-03-29T10:57:07.783+11:00Sorry to keep popping up in older posts, but I onc...Sorry to keep popping up in older posts, but I once again noticed symbolism in a symbol. On the middlemost ring of the medallion in the anti-chamber, there are small spikes or points, and upon counting them found there were 24 of them. Interesting that so many of these circular symbols found around colossi arenas have sub symbols equaling 16 or 24. Makes me wish they had released some sort of SotC Mythos book to explain more of the background of this forbidden land. But the mystery of this enigmatic land may be it's greatest attraction.<br />--I think it's pretty obvious that if we're reading this blog, that we, as well as you the creator, love the hell out of this game.Guy Personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190472480790858394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160072196808789891.post-44515580508062640342012-04-14T20:57:56.582+10:002012-04-14T20:57:56.582+10:00I've got him.

But I just get in position, wait for it to submerge then as soon as it breaks the surface charge the sword and stab. I don't know why you can't charge your sword... all I can suggest is to watch a couple of PS3 video walk throughs - that may help you.<br /><br />A trick I use is to do a roll when you are running up the colossi's back, you get to the spines much faster this way and have more time to stab them.
