Uplift Universe - Video Entry: Daniel Brok
The Blood-Cells was no Big Deal, i build this in XSI.
A simple Particle system with Object Instances deformed on a Curve.
That means the Particle Animation follow the Curve.
I hope, I knew your question answering
Alien Mind Interface
I Rendered some Loops.
Most Work was done in Composit.

The Religion Part is very important for the Story.
alvin-cgi - and thanks you to, i try my best
My first Choice was to Render it in XSI with 3Delight because Fast SSS, MotionBlur and Displacement.
After some Tests i turned back to Mantel Ray and used Fast SSS Skin + Displacement + Bump + Normalmap.
I Playing currently with Shaders.
The Grays
What can I say!
Rendered in XSI with MR.
Very heavy Displacement, every Character
split in Different Passes.
Out of Memory!
Perhaps too much Contrast.
Hey mate, they’re pretty creepy, as already mentioned 
Like a cross between a traditional alien, and those old wooden African carvings (as seen here: http://www.essenceofafrica.eu/Images/Product%20Images/Tall%20Statue%20of%20an%20African%20Man.JPG)
I like it!
Render-Pipe Tuning.
