Ohmu (or king of insects...) (VIDEO added...)

Well got inspired from the film nausicaa from the valley of the wind and decided to make an attempt in modeling an ohmu which is actually a huge insect from the movie…

That is so neat! I also read the comic somewhat the first few pages before putting it down as it wasn’t quite my type, even though I really some manga. You went for a realistic approach, I think the render will go a bit better if you put a background against it, and tried to get a bit of personality on the creature. Look forward to what you come up with!

Updated the mesh a bit this is a minor update…

Nothing to criticise yet,good job!

That’s really a disgusting bug. Which I guess is a compliment.:slight_smile:

Beside the great modeling and sculpting, I especially like the lighting and texturing! Excellent, really photoreal. Gets me thinking “would be great to see composited into live action…”

Thanks for the comment…
Actually i have not sculpted the mesh…
I just used fractal subdivide and the rest of the skin effect comes from the material…
As for the video requested I am preparing a small one right now…

That is utterly disgusting and gross. Great Job!

Well here is a small video with the model…
Comments and critics welcome…
You can view the video here:

It looks great! Very wet and slimy, but still seems to have a hard exoskeleton. Do you have it rigged? You should try an animation with it. =)
