Looks buggy. Good work!
WOW! That looks extremely well done! My only critique would be … is .. uh .. ok I got nothing. This looks too good.
Dude, that’s owesome!!!
Fantastic. I like a lot. Very vivid. best wishes Math.
The dew doesn’t look right http://onixastock.deviantart.com/art/Grass-Dew-Stock-92622391
About the dew, I was going to say the same thing. Other than that it looks nice. I kind of expected the “Campbell and Brecht I think I found another bug!” posts… Oh no, I just did it.
Cycle is missing caustics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caustic_%28optics%29
It is not a bug, it is missing feature => todo list. :)
Thought it was rendered with Indigo :)
Indeed :)
I wasn’t referring to caustics. Look at the location of the dew in the photo … it is effected by gavity.
gravity not gavity
no its not, cycles has had caustics pretty much from the beginning. You can turn them off but if you want to see them use a small bright light source and have a lot of patience because its will take some time to clean up
Love it! Might not be photo realistic but still very evocative.
Long ago we were used to see no really good artwork. Now it seems people are getting much better at Blender !
The image is simply great ! I wouldn’t say photorealistic because too many water drops ( I guess ). Water drops bellow the branch should me smaller or at least of different shape, and no that many. The bug looks great.
Excellent work, dew drops are fine, realistic. People, just accept this rocks way better than what you could do. I’ve accepted it and just enjoy marveling on it. :-)
Waooow! This one is a serious image! Congrats Gabish!
I
great macro! does it hurt?
well done render :)
nice work…. well done…..
awesome! looks like a real bug.,
New bug found… :D So Awensome!
Very nice indeed! Thanks for the share!
man, this is like a REAL living bug…. awsome… I wish I could do something half as good as this one…
Great work! Would love to see this rendered in cycles
Actually, the waterdrops aren’t that far away from realism. There are images out there of insects with a lot more dew on them.
The only “problem” I see is that the lighting might be too uniform for what you’d expect.
Although on an overcast day, that could work too…
It’s a really awesome image!
Amazing image, excellent modelling and rendering!
Maybe the only thing that gives it away as CG is the background. A good ‘foliage-like’ background and I think a lot of people would think it was a photograph…
Good point! Although, as a professional macro photographer, I have taken several pictures where the backgound has turned a solid color because of the high average blur. Sometimes if you make an image too realistic, people tend to think it’s even faker than if there’s a little bit of inaccuracy.
I have macro photographs of bees on flowers which look indistinguishable from this. Where I live we tend not to get as much dew as that – Australia is the world’s driest country, after all – I still find that believable based on photographs that I’ve seen from elsewhere,
As for the background – well with a +3 diopter macro lens on a 50 mm lens I would expect just that sort of image. At that scale you have no depth of field at all.
Referring to the dew, the refraction, and the shape, are wrong. the shape, would have been affected by gravity, and the bending of the light, within the dewdrops, would not be anywhere near as strong as what it is here. However, The texturing, modeling and the placement of the dewdrops seems fine, and done well enough to mistake for photo realism. Anyone serious about photo realistic modeling and CG work, would know the difference. Everything I’ve said has already been mentioned by others who have commented, I’m just reiterating. I could not do as well myself, with the rendering of water but hopefully, within the next few days, that will change.
Very well done sir. I applaud your attention to detail.
Great! I doubt most biologist be able to tell it is not a real bug.
I love bugs and this one is amazing! :D (no, I don’t love “our” bugz ;) )
WOW! Amazing Work! I might have to check out this Indigo renderer how does it compare to cycles?
Are you in the market for a new Blender? Are you looking for a model that will crush ice well for a frozen drink, a heavy duty model, a space saver model, or a budget model? There are so many models to choose from. The guide below will help you find the best blender for your needs at the best price.

WOW i first thought that picture is a real photo for that bug!!! Great work
Nice job! I love the materials and shading.
