thingmaker Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hello everyone. I am working on a small personal project and could use some feedback on making my model look a bit more realistic. I modeled it from scratch and am pretty happy with that part and with the texturing/painting on the abdomen. My biggest weakness is in lighting and I am only about half as proficient with texturing as I would like. So in these areas I am looking for critical comments on improvement. Thanks. -Derryl Additionally, here is a Quicktime VR image of the model: Honeybee It's about 8MB so you may have to wait a few minutes for it to load before you can spin it around.

Tomas Egger Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ola Derryl, Great work!! I did this Honeybee to a TV advertising a few years ago, I used a Illuminator in that time to make a nice and rich shade in the body and fur, now you could play with a .hdri light and .hdri reflection :) Hope that helps.

kbartlez Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 These look great. My apologies for the dumb question, but is there a fur shader for EI? I'm assuming that's what these were done in. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingmaker Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Thanks! Yes, I used Placer Deposit from Northern Lights. These look great. My apologies for the dumb question, but is there a fur shader for EI? I'm assuming that's what these were done in. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
