The uniform

Pokey is always in uniform: black beanie, round glasses, black hoodie worn open, shirt and black tie, vest, and his ID badge on a lanyard, with the Department globe pin on his left chest in 3D. The details, and the colors he’s drawn in, are on Illustrating Pokey.

Colors

Pokey is the same color in 3D as in illustration: the brand palette, plus his own feather grey.

The source is a rigged Blender file with 4K textures, kept by the Office of Public Awareness. The web model is a lighter copy: one level of smoothing, 2K color and 1K normal maps, textures recolored to the brand palette, and the four animations baked from the rig.
