My second CSG scene, 'The Spider'. For the uninitiated, the fly in the vice is a
spider.

I cheated with the clamp thread - it is as array of cone intersections, not a
spiral. I figured how to pur a spiral together for the gold rib on the little
buzzers in the clips, though they are too far back to see it, and I figured how
to randomize the position of the fibres of the spider. I haven't but the spiral
wrapping on the flexi part of the lamp support yet. I can do an isosurface
spiral but have not yet figured how to push it inot a torus shape instead of a
cylinder.

Nice job on the cotton reel textures.

I must be quite uninitiated; it took me quite a few minutes of staring back and
forth between your text and your image before it dawned on me what you were
talking about.  It's something to do with fishing, isn't it?

I cheated and used a normal with a radial pattern.

That's an interesting table-clamp device, holding the fly-making thingy. It is a
real-world clamp?

Looks good to me. How did you get it to curl, to follow the bend?

The axis of the radial pattern matches the center of curvature of the bend.

This render looks better than your full-scene render. The lamp is nice and a fly
would be a fun thing to model. Have you considered scaling back and doing a
better render of just one object?
