This started out (as these things often do) as a casual experiment to see whether I could easily create a spider web. I don't even remember why the thought crossed my mind in the first place, but it seemed like a fun thing to do. It turned out to be pretty simple. The web is just a somewhat deformed disk (with about 12 sides and 8 rings), placed in a Atom Array, which converts the edges into thin cylinders. I chose some points along the top to hold it in place, then added a Cloth tag to let it droop naturally. Voila. Then I decided to add some water drops to the web, which was simply a sphere with a basic glass texture, replicated with the Place on Points 2 plug-in. I ended up making the sphere editable so that I could move the axis to the top, which gives the illusion that the drops are hanging from the intersections of the web. POP2 also provided the random scaling to insert some variety in the drops. The grass stalks are simple cylinders extruded and rotated appropriately. I also added some subtle hairs to them with the Hair module. The background picture was pulled off the net and blurred separately; Hair doesn't play well with a camera depth-of-field, unfortunately. All in all, an interesting couple of hours of work. Enjoy! Everything modelled, textured and rendered in Cinema 4D XL 9.521 Update: Based on the feedback from our resident arachnologist, I've rebuilt the web with additional sections (18 instead of 8), shifted some of the points over to form a spiral instead of concentric rings, and reduced the number of droplets (using a point selection in the POP2 plug-in). I've moved various points on the disc around by hand to give it an "imperfect" look, since most spiders aren't perfectionists ;-) I hope you like the result!
