wow that looks great man.. seriously

whats your lighting setup and can u post a wire please?

[JoelOtron]

Thats very nice! Yes--Aurety's thread was a great resource.

Now put some bones in those antennae and wiggle them around (I should talk).

Hmmm, I wonder how did you do the shell?

it looks aawwwsome!

[shakes]

very nice job on the shell modelling and texture!

[Aurety]

Wow Boxy ! Just great, better than mine for the sss looking. With the 9.5, I should try to bake my textures for the shell. I will share it if you want. :bowdown:

Looks really good Boxy!

[Rich-Art]

Second that.
Perhaps a little slower spinning, just for beter viewing.

Great...........

Peace,
Rich-Art. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the comments! I hope the screen shot below answers most of the questions. The sss effect is actually a fusion with sss and a fresnel, I can't recall now why I tried that but it seemed to work and so stayed that way. The selected light is a negative light to counter bleaching out in the antennae - otherwise the main light is casting area shadows and everything else is back/side fill and a top light trying to bring out highlights to make the shell look less flat but that isn't working at the moment. I might even end up painting in the highlights because its for a stills campaign. The shell is hand painted in bodypaint, I briefly tried a procedural like Aurety's but I wasn't very good at it :) also I think the fact that the shell is no longer a tube made the mapping trickier...Aurety - cool if you get time I'd love to see how a baked procedural might look. Although the client is ok with this shell it does look hand painted to me - much appreciated.
hightillidie you can download a C4d file of mine and Aurety's shells at this thread:

I'll try and make a slower spinner movie once the deadline is up.
Cheers
Boxy
