Am I the only one who HATES needles? Eek! Poor guy!

Based on a sketch by :icondelya: which you can find at this [link] !

Of course, creative credits go to her!


||Technical Notes||

Rendered in Mental Ray 3.3.1, created in Maya 6.0.1. 24 hours and 3 minutes render time on a dual Opteron 250 machine. Custom written physically based shaders for the glass and liquid (similar to dielectric), DGS material used for the metal. The syringes were modeled with NURBS and also polygons. The dude was modeled with Maya subdivision surfaces then converted to polygons. The eyes are simply nurbs spheres with adjusted CV points.

Lighting was done with 2 very large mental ray area lights on either side combined with physical_light shaders and both caustics and global illumination. Area light samples were at 10x10. Minimum adaptive samples at 2, max at 4... which makes each pixel lit with an area light cast somewhere between 1600 and 25600 shadow rays (well, its not exactly like that, but err, who cares?).

Here's a look at his back... [link] yes, he has black blood.

[[Last edit, I swear!!!]]]

due to some demand, ive decided to post some close wifeframe'ish shots of the models so you can see them. of course, before the final render they are smoothed out by mental ray via the approximation nodes... [link] [link] [link]

if you want a lossless compression (as i notice the compression on the jpg is very noticeable on SOME monitors), you can download the 1 meg png version of the image at this [link]

whoa that's awesome
beautiful.

I like the syringes, nice choice of Red-Green-Blue for the injected fluids. Is that symbolism I smell burning? Damn it I left the oven on...

where did I leave those marbles...
That's a sick ass render dude :omg: It was defenitely worth the suspense :+fav:


One question though, what is the advantage of using nurbs to poly?

--
:nod::horns:
i hope more peopel catch on to my symbolism in the future, theres a lot more going on in my work than most people realize

well done:!: nice idea:!::clap:

--
My gallery [link] Thank you!
certain modeling capabilities, like on nurbs you can project a curve from specific angles and use that curve on surface to trim out that part of the surface, then you can like.. err this is gonna get too descriptive, ill keep it short... there are advantages and disadvantages, and in that case nurbs was best

Very clever. I as well noticed the colors in the syringes. You are getting quite good at doing these cartoony sort of renders.

The gods must be crazy.:pringles:

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.
Well, it's nerd symbolism though, only people familiar with the different light spectrums' compositions would catch that one. Lowbrow it and more people will catch it.

Oh...my.....GAWD. O_O This is incredible. You have no clue how awesome this is! I totally ADMIRE you~:heart:

I cannot thank you enough for this, really. It makes me feel oh-so-special that I was able to inspire such a great piece of art! So, tell me: How long have you been working with 3D programs? I have a little experience, but nothin' like this. :D
