The shadows seem a bit off.. but the actual insect is very well made. Good luck! Reply »

Reply:

Awesome awesome awesome! The only thing I could say is that the material is a bit reflective so it looks a bit like plastic. Maybe bring down the refraction/reflection. Reply »

Thanks guys .
I have adjusted the shadow a bit - (removed lower light source and changed from buffered shadows to ray shadows). I hope they look better now.
I set the specularity and its hardness really high because the ladybeetles in my reference photos are actually really shiny when the sun is on them.
I have just added some subsurface scattering to the shell. Reply »

You have an incredible sense of color which help you enorm. I have to work twice or more for a mediocre result. How much do you want to share this secret with me ?
Reflections are still to strong IMO. Your program ( you still work in Bryce ? ) have for sure settings for specular light or highlight, play with.
Your work is too good to not be perfect. Reply »

I gave up on Bryce ages ago, currently using Blender.
Ok, I've decreased the specular a bit. I also just added a bit of reflection in the eye using HDRi image (top middle image of source). Reply »

Quote from Missy : ”Damn good”. I read twice your excellent SBS and I still cant believe to my eyes that you've made this beautiful car with the primitives modelling tools of Bryce. I'll never try that, it's like to work only with my left hand. Incredible good, congrats. Reply »

Reply:

For being the first 3D thing ever, I must say you've done a great job! I've allways considered Bryce a crappy 3D-software that only can make mediocre landscapes. Allthough i still believe Bryce has its limitations, you've proved me wrong! Reply »

Good job with the hair

As for the model itself, you might want to round off the area between the forehead and the nose as it currently is a bit reinforced Reply »

Reply:

yes Tanzim... its good job with hair.. I won't mind the forehead and nose area as it looks like a character from one of those animated movies such as open season, toy story etc... but its with author, if he/she feels like to.. then sure.. Reply »

Reply:

original entry -- well executed good luck ! Reply »

Reply:

iquraishi, sorry I didn't understand that first line, is that sarcasm or were you agreeing with me?

Yes, I should've kept that in mind, if he/she can model that well I'm sure he/she knows what their doing. Reply »

Reply:

I was agreeing with you tanzim.. apologies if you felt any other way.. Reply »

Reply:

Thanks for your encouraging comments guys.
This is my first real attempt at organic modeling and I'm glad you all like the hair as it gave me quite a lot of trouble to comb. I think the model was easier than adding the hair!

This horse was modeled on an Arabian, which typically have wide foreheads and dishy faces, although I probably exaggerated this a bit. (I think the angle of my front on reference photograph wasn't quite straight). Reply »

Reply:

Very good for a first organic. Even for a second or third The real problem is with lights. You can hide or attenuate modeling errors plaiyng with 2 or 3 fill lights from back. For the moment the left/front light is too strong. Good luck Reply »

I'm in awe of the work here, the complexity, especially steps 3 and 5, is amazing! Just a little nitpick, I'd add more depth of color on the large white area with the knobs, but other than that, it's fantastic. Yes, you should do the triptych idea, you've done work that does not show in this image. Print it out large and frame it for your brother. Reply »
