Octopus Tentacle UV Mapping & Texturing

I unfold the tentacle UV map. For placement, i arranged them accordingly. In the UV editor, i create a snapshot as a guide for texture positioning in Photoshop.

These are the images of real octopus i found online to be use for the model texture.

 Using the images as my source, the texture are cloned and evenly colour adjusted. 

I create a normal map as well for bump mapping in Maya.

The texture are applied onto the model in Hypershade. I selected the mia material X. I opt for more reflectivity to have a slimy look.

The test rendered image. Will be moving on to camera tracking in Nuke.
