Hello everybody,

The first pass was rendered with MegaPov, the second (glare effect) with 
3.7b23.

For the SSS I employed a home brew projection pattern setup. This 
simulates not only subsurface scattering but also a 'real' ball-shaped 
area light.

The idea for this image came earlier when I was messing around with 
Apophysis, and thought a particular image would make a great height_field.

Questions and comments are always welcome~


Sam

whoa!  beautiful

looks like a wax hive of sorts.  Fractal and isosurface?

hey, thanks!

No, the height_field derives its pattern from a slightly modified image 
from Apophyhsis, a dust-fractal program. Cool app.

Terrific!! The SSS and lighting is particularly good. VEry well done.

As a side not to myself: I should spend more time with Apophysis. It is a 
great application indeed.

Ahaa! you've placed it for me.

Great image, btw,  Samuel


I was wondering how you got what looks like undercutting with a hf

One half-naked bald lady could really push it there ;)

Thank you!

Ah, that only looks like undercutting. It's an artifact of the shading 
setup I used. The sss effect tends to abruptly change from lit to unlit 
areas. That, I assume, is responsible for the perceived overhangs.

It was my 1st reaction (and my 2nd as well :-)
very alien though familiar organic

I second that  : very well done
