Description

Having seen a version of Curvy 3D on the Daz site, I realised I had an earlier version that was free with 3D World magazine a couple of months back, so I decided to give it a go. At first I thought that there wasn't much to it, but when I saw the tutorials, I started to see the potential. This is just my first quick model with it, done in just a few minutes, then taken into Carrara, replicated and added a spotlight with light cone effect to give an underwater vibe. Just a quick sketch really but I liked the overall effect. Thanks for stopping by - and I really value your comments and feedback! Have a great week - Phil

That's not too shabby for a rough draft! The lighting especially fits the mood. I'll have to check out Curvy! Of course after seeing this I feel all itchy... Awesome work Phil! JT

Wow, thats cool - they look like some kind of parasitic mites - CREEPY. I tried Curvey a while back to see what it was all about - it must have been from the same mag - I could not quite get my head around it - good to see your getting decent results.
