Title: The Bivouacs - Nest of Army Ants
Name: Michael D. Tang Yew
Country: Trinidad and Tobago
Software:
Made in 3ds Max & Photoshop
Materials and Lightings made using vray.
Project got corrupted during the final stages, the file could not be recovered (around 80% complete). So i took some renders i made before and i added them in photoshop.
"Classic army ants, members of the species Eciton burchellii don't keep a permanent nest but build one every day—with their own bodies. The ants begin by linking toe to toe from an overhang, like a fallen log. Others climb on until the entire colony forms a structure of 300,000 to 700,000 ants. Appropriately for army ants, these temporary nests are called bivouacs."
