Been at this consistently so I'll show some more updates:


here's a shot with Global Illumination, as the above image seems far too dark and I want better atmosphere.


watching it render; it will take some tweaking to get the effect I want as this seems to be far too pastey and soft.


don't know why that one came out the way it did, here's a render region::

Back...

I'm back to using XSI, after quite a hiatus. I was using blender to try and model a mosquito; I felt that it was successful but then I looked around a bit and found that I wasn't satisfied with the edge flow.

I found a great resource though, in my travels. zoomy. Since I found it I've explored it a bit and found that aside from the directly applicable resources that its a enjoyable site to explore.

So anyway- I've decided to try and do the mosquito in XSI, so posting here again. I'm still having trouble with the edges. I can't decide whether or not the edges are harder or easier to place with a mosquito head/ human head. I have access to specimens of mosquitos and I will soon try to draw the mosquito head.

One of the problems that I have encountered is a lack of multiple views for the mosquito head. Obviously since its not nearly as common to model one of these as a human head this is sensible. Since I have the oportunity to draw one I naturally have a solution available. Unfortunately photos would likely be harder to obtain.
