Trying to get that electric field right all over agian.

Oh and Ive added a field to the claw bug.

#93

Added an electric field to the closest half metal half organic cell.
Not sure about it though and the electric field on the metal cells isnt right yet

#94

Umm yeah still playing with settings

#95

Another field

#96

Rotated the texture that the glow comes from.
Doesnt make much of a diferance sure the blue lines underneath move but hey. It wsnt what I wanted.

#97

Well Now Im happy with the electric field thats close up. but the one further away looks strange. I guess this time Ill have to use a seperate effect for each. Pitty since they looked cooler before.

Ive also added a laser from the one bug that is cuting away the living cell.

#98

Yeah looks great pity about the original electric field, I like the lazer as well maybe have quite a few lazer coming from all directions. Looking at your picture it looks unoriginal… ooops sorry wrong thread. Ha ha Looks great I still like the claw creature the most, are you finished with the background cause maybe it needs a bit more contrast so that your foregroung stand out more but other than that I like the layout and color.

Great work

Good luck

#99

Very nice stuff

#100

Since Im almost finished I thought I would post some model shots

#101

Here is a close up in colour

#102

Heres another shot

#103

Yep I like hearing the sound of my own voice. Isnt that obvious?

#104

Yes and I also like reading my own posts it seams :slight_smile:

#105

1 Day left and almost there

#106

almost

#107

Took Dirks Advice and darkened the background I think it looks better.
Need to play a bit but Im almost finished.

#108

Well its finally finished.
Sure I could have easilly fiddled with it for another month or so but the deadline is here so Ive had to stop fiddling and finish it.

I have to say I have had great fun doing this and I hope everyone else did aswell.

Thanks to everyone for all your comments and feedback.

Good luck to you all!!

Nano Virus

With the advent of Nano technology and the increased use of mechanical replacements for human limbs and organs, the human race was once again able to move on unopposed by anything nature could throw at it.

These mechanical grafts and Nano cures and operations where not only for restorative medical uses but where also used for cosmetics, commerce and military.

Nano-Bots where given a limited AI in order for them to navigate through the body and perform their tasks. They where also produced with the ability to repair themselves and in some cases even the ability to reproduce or salvage other Nano-Bots.

It was only a matter of time before something went wrong.
Whether it was military technology leaking into the mainstream population, an experiment gone wrong or the AI of the Nano-Bots adapting no one knows. All that is known is that Nano-Bots started replicating themselves and changing their designs to become more efficient this was still within the norm as the Bots that could replicate where designed to make themselves as efficient as possible. However some Nano-Bots started changing their protocols and tasks. These bots then started to attack any other Nano-Bots in the system then they would start attaching the host itself. Grafting themselves to organic matter until they had destroyed it all or brought the organism under the control of the AI.

Thousands died or became zombiefied husks that where the home to millions of Nano-Bots. This plague was devastating. The Nano-Virus was like a mixture between a biological Virus and the computer viruses that threatened the machines of old. Once infected the Nano-Virus would replicate, attacking all other Nano-Tech and taking over any mechanical replacements on the host. Once all mechanical systems are under control of the AI the Nano-Virus turns its attention to the organic parts of the host.

Attempts at creating stronger more structured Nano-Bots with stricter rules, designed to destroy the Nano-Virus have had some success but critics say that this practice has only made the Virus stronger as the new technology is absorbed by the Virus.

Whatever the cure ends up being, if we can find one. One thing is certain Humanity has met its newest threat! The irony that it was Humanities creation and the means to surpassing the last big threat that we faced
