Believe it or not I was doing some jackhammering and noticed quite a bit of spiders under the 5 inches of rebar and concrete. As I jackhammered away I started studying these neat little creatures. After a few hours of jacking around I decided to create my own. So on my little breaks ( if you are a computer nerd and using a jackhammer, you have to take 20min breaks about every 2-3 hrs) I would sit down on my computer and start the creative juices flow’n.
This is about 2hrs of work and 1hr of rendering. Initial modo model was done in about 30min, then I spent about 30 minutes putting a quick displacement map on the model in ZBrush (used GUV’s) mainly used projection master (because it is fast). My main goal with the displacement was to just break up the lighting on the surface to get the most out of a very simple model. Couldn’t help but make a diffuse and a color map. Mixed it all together in a large bowl of Messiah Studio and there ya have it.
