As I never seem to have time to create new images I decided to just tweak/update
an old image of mine.

Below is the original from 2004, the background was just randomly coloured
spheres to simulate an autumnal tree (hence the extreme focal blur).

Here is the remastered version ;-)

Updated the background with an exterior HDR probe and of course used HDR
lighting.

Updated the textures and added SSLT for the spider, probably this needed some
tweaking but it was really just a quick update to see what effect HDR lighting
would have on the scene and I have never mastered the SSLT settings.

Pretty good. That's a MASSIVE improvement. Good work.

Very much better than the original. The web seems to be a little bit to 
irregular IMO and the droplets a little bit to regular. Especially, at 
the crossings of the strings the droplets should melt into another. An 
POV image (with code) which could be critized in the other way round was 
given by Franck Angella, IRTC 1998-06 (faweb). May be a mixture of his 
and your approach would be best.

Best regards
Michael

Very good indeed. I am not entirely sure if the spider needs SSLT 
though. The original spider looks a tad better, but then as you say, 
more tweaking would be needed. In any case, very well done indeed.

I had not known the original, but the "remaster" is an awesome image. cheers.

(POV-Ray images (art) seem to be a little like waiting for the bus.  you wait
for ages, then two come along at the same time :-))

Maybe just reducing the amount of translucency. Like maybe dividing it 
by 3 or 4...

I kind of agree, the original spider looked better in some ways but as I was
updating the image thought I would try out SSLT again. The main purpose was to
re-render with HDR and some texture tweaks.

Now looking for further old images I can do the same to until I have time to
actually model something new.

I think if you do no SSLT on the body, and SSLT on the legs (if possible), that
would work out well.   It is of course a bit difficult to directly compare the
two, given the vastly different lighting.

Another image to remaster (I must have been going through a spider phase).

The original image..
