Viruses and Such


I watched a tutorial and then made the final product even more final and added a bacteria strand using a curve, array, and the mirror modifier. My textures arn’t quite satisfactory to me but im done with this project :slight_smile: I also added the light and specs with different layers and used nodes to include them so the viruses arnt white with all the light.

I almost forgot but i touched it up a tiny bit with gimp for full color effect! :slight_smile:

Comment, tell me what i could do better
Thanks

wow. Great work. I also did this tutorial. I like most of your final result. :slight_smile:

Which tutorial is this?

I hope it will be useful. :wink:

You should make a model of the best virus, the T4 bacteriophage! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T4_phage

Not a virus but the egg of the butterfly Heliconius charithonia contains cyanide and other toxins. I made some and it’s in my blog. http://mar71n.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/egg/
I used the same tutorial. :wink:

Looks good, would make a nice desktop wallpaper.

Does anyone know how to combine layers using alpha over and getting layers to be in front of each other and behind. What i want to do is have the rays of light be behind and infront of the viruses. Cuz right now i have 3 dif layers: Viruses, Light, and Particles. Is there any way that i can include z so that layers know what is in front and behind?

Yes, using ZMask should do the trick.

Is it me or is the ramp a bit too much? Great work though.

@PlantPerson - Woah!
