Most of the image is just a Photo, taken with Nikon D70, of a standard-wasp.

I’d still love to see the unshaded\wireframe on top

#6

xcellent!! :thumbsup: nice blend of photo and cg!! can u show us wire???

#7

Nice fantazy piece, I like the blending of real and imaginary. Is the honey real or photo, I couldn’t tell:)

#8

thanks for you words, guys !

well, wireframe is a little problem, because of the ultra-high subdivision in Zbrush.

In the attached image, you can see all the added parts, without the Photo underlying.

Ok i dont use Z-brush but you don’t show a wire… very strange i think. The last pic is the only parts in 3d ? :rolleyes:

Hey ThomasKl & whoever else is intrested,

I found this website a long time ago and use it for insect reference: http://www.insectimages.org/

I get lost in all of the images.

your macro and close-ups are really cool…
dof on some flies and spiders is really impressive.(is it directly from camera or you combine 2 or more pictures?)

i’m shooting insects too (mostly close-ups of dragonflies in flight…)

#19

Thanks,

i don`t combine iamges to get a wider range of sharpness. I do like to use F10-F20 to get a wide area of sharp details. This wouldnt be able without using a big flash, sometimes i use two flashes.

thomas

PS: would it be possible to see some of your dragon-fly pics ?
