The final images done in Maya, be sure to check them out.
I rendered the whole image in different layers, a very smart
way of compositing a high-end image.
The rendering consists of a background layer with the Key and fillights
together with the shadows from the ant.
A diffuse layer with the main object rendered without speculars and background.
A specular layer with all lights turned off, no diffuse shading and only
the reflections visible.
This creature was modeled entirely in Rhino3d for testing the capabilities in Rhino. Textures and bump maps are done separately for each part in Photoshop.
This model will be a part of the bundle from 3DRender.com 'The secret of Rhinoceros' and the Cool NURBS cd-rom.
It was modeled in 2 nights, effectively i could say 6 hours.
The model could be downloaded on request.
This picture shows the ant rendered in Rhino with textures applied.
