I wanted to do the Ant thing again but, with a little more thought.
No post work.
Thanks to Bob and Walli.
I kinda wish there was a higher limit than 512k. This is a jpg with quality 7 from Photoshop. Got me just under the limit to post.
This is just ... Antastic! :)
Looks great , Marc :D
Did you tried a little translucency or transparency kind effect on the ants , but just a very little ?
Just curious how it would look.
Kadri,
Yes, I used translucency set to 1 and used the texture image. I think it would make a difference if the light were behind the ants. I think I'll do a test.
I believe if Terragen had a sub surface scatter shader, that would do the trick.
Thanks

Yes , Marc . It would be nice really :)
Great image, Marc!
Very Nice Marc :)
The ant model looks good!
I like the scene you've put them in, though I think the ants are way too big, but probably you want to show them off nicely :)
Cheers,
Martin
Very impressive work.
yes, also think those ants are a bit to big, but hey - they are nice and its good to see some living stuff - well done!
Thank you everyone.
These are the Red Giant North American Picnic Ants. It takes only three of the to haul off a bowl of potato salad.
As soon as I finish my current render I will scale them down and render it again.

LOL :D
Big ants indeed. But let's not lose their importance in the scene when they're scaled down. Just move your camera down even further, and then give us some nice DoF! ;D

I would say it takes some more, as I can assure you that I won´t let them take away my potato salad - so they would have to carry me too ;-)
Have you ever been attacked by ants - I have and I'd give my bowl away as fast as I could!!!
Original indeed! :)
I like the details here!
Wonderful and perfect now... better than the other version IMHO
I'm in the process of doing another render. I scaled down the Ants and added a dead Grasshopper.
The image is a crop render of a portion of the whole. WHAT?
Looks VERY photo like. And The Crop is a portion of the Whole is very Zen. (at least what I call Zen)
cool idea!
i once had ants in my pants, its not as bad as being attacked by them
The worst thing would be being attacked by them IN your pants!
