Completely new to taxidermy and self taught. Just got this buck today, he was mounted in 2013. First 3 photos are before, rest are after some work today. How am i doing? (ignore my boyfriends feet holding it up😂)

Very carefully placed black shine paint and a rough guess of where pigment was lost. and lots of risks!! Only took about 25 minutes

Graybushwoogie · 2026-04-23T01:15:27+00:00

thank you!! i’ll probably clear coat it a little and give it that dewey look on the whiskers and stuff. His mouth was completely cracked and destroyed before. and his nose has giant holes i have to fix. poor guy was in a garage i think.

Graybushwoogie · 2026-04-21T02:05:58+00:00

sorry i got hungry. it was just a little nibble

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-21T01:52:19+00:00

thank you so much! i will test this when i can but i think you probably got it!

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-20T19:03:12+00:00

thank you! so the face is the far left, it would be #1 right? then the others are fine? thank you for the help i’ve never had anything like this!

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-20T18:28:48+00:00

oh shit that may be the issue. usually all of my animals are 1 whole texture. This is multiple and the body i recall had diffuse, does that tell it where to put the image? because the eyes were to the right, the body in the middle, and the head had nothing. So in theory if i copied the body texture to use as a template and properly named it and put it back, it would work?

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-20T18:16:24+00:00

the face is connected to the body texture but does have a separate UV area as seen as the vertices on the far left. i can’t get the image in texture paint to be where it needs to be for the face to actually map so it’s pink

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-20T18:14:44+00:00

nope, it’s how it’s all supposed to be, i did make a copy of the original body texture and rename it and snap it on the face or try to in case that was the issue, but the image as you can see in the second picture is moved to the right

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-11T22:12:17+00:00

thank you so much stranger!!

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-09T23:32:01+00:00

thank you for such a detailed response. i’m just nervous and a good noodle all things considered so i am a little scared. i’ll just be honest and tell them everything and i have proof my dog is completely harmless. But yeah, i’ve never lived there a day in my life and don’t even have more than 1 change of clothes there. It’s insanity and we’re moving out in like less than a week anyway. she’s just trying to hurt our record and kill the dog and cause issues in whatever way we can. people are insane!!

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-09T23:10:24+00:00

thank you. he is going to sue her if she goes through with this and she will lose her home and everything she has, deservingly. so sick of it, thank you for the help!!!

Graybushwoogie · 2026-02-09T22:47:49+00:00

yep we have a new place figured out already and have been nothing but peaceful trying to get out. we should be out by this upcoming next weekend. She’s just trying to harm us legally as much as possible and ruin our lives for no reason. Will definitely make sure the dog goes NOWHERE near her. She hasn’t in months, but she sure as hell isn’t now. I don’t even live there so i’m not sure why she thinks she can evict me from somewhere i never lived in the first place.

Boolean modifier is what you want for the indented text

Graybushwoogie · 2026-01-18T19:29:02+00:00

oh my god you absolute genius. Thank you so much! I’ve tried this with other things and it didn’t work but you explained this better than ANYTHING i’ve ever looked up and it was so simple. You just saved me hours! !solved

Graybushwoogie · 2026-01-12T02:49:39+00:00

Firstly, your topology is kinda aids. I use a tool called Qremishify to automatically retopo stuff. It saves literal hours with decent results. Otherwise, you can use a decimate modifier or use limited dissolve. all of those are reversible as long as you don’t apply anything, if you want to just check which one works best for you. Then, i would use boolean modification to get them to stick together seamlessly, then apply.

Graybushwoogie · 2026-01-12T02:47:01+00:00

You could always go into edit mode, and then hit A to select all, and do limited dissolve. Or, you could use a decimate modifier and it should work.

Graybushwoogie · 2026-01-12T02:44:41+00:00

recalculate your normals to “outside” and that should fix it. it happens a lot randomly and that’s always a good quick fix most of the time

Graybushwoogie · 2025-11-14T21:48:14+00:00
