hi,
comments and crits are welcome, i hope i'll have time to put a finished version, i think wings needs some work.
No texture here, only SSS.
thx.

This is awesome.
I presume the grass is a photo?

my only comment is that I have no crits!

A very nice model & wonderful SSS setup,
I just hope your final image has a bigger resolution...

Edit : how did you do the irregular black pattern on the back of the insect without textures ?

Until I see a wireframe, I refuse to believe this is not a photo!

I 2nd that - wire would be good to see

I apologize in advance in case i'm wrong, but i doubt too. I don't see how to make it without textures, furthemore, the 450x502 format looks odd to me for a render.
It could be a post-pro croping however.

c'mon guys - thats a indigo-render for sure

well..It can be without bitmaps if it's all modelled. also the head seems to be a bit too reflective for me.

The colour is too uniform to be a photo. there's no brown tinges anywhere. But I MUST SEE A WIRE

This discussion, if it is not a photo, is a testament to the fantastic composition of this piece and the excellent software nick has created.

the only texture is the grass of course, mantis doesn't have any texture.
i'd like your opinion on the material, i want the mantis to reflect more, i suppose i just have to increase exponent value?
here is the head mat:

radiance, here is the eyes material and a wireframe, and a textured view :

thx all for your comments
