Created a simple lipid bilayer with some simple membrane proteins attached.
Hope you like it! :blush:

Really love this. Your subtle use of depth-of-field is fantastic. I’d consider throwing in some very subtle chromatic aberration and moire to further sell the reality of lens distortion, but really stunning render.

Can you tell us a bit more about how you go about making this kind of image, @Siphiwe ?
Is it classic modelling, particles, a crazy geometry nodes setup…?
Or maybe it’s imported from another specialised software?

This really isn’t my field, but I’m curious to know :nerd_face:

Hey Picto. So I just used a basic geometry nodes setup. Modeled the phosolipids, scattered them on a plane (which would be the membrane in this case) using basic geometry nodes. Same went for the membrane proteins.

This is incredible. I find it so fascinating when 3d encounters science and this is a perfect piece. Good job!

Neat… I love macro shots in 3D, especially at such a scale. Do you ever animate these?

Love the lighting and materials! was it hard to model? You really accompished to make it look microscopic, great work!
