Baby Devil's Flower mantis

Process

This is the concept I wanted to create:

Modeling

For the modeling part, I realized its different parts one by one that I assembled little by little to reconstruct it. Then I sculpted the details with mudbox.

Here you can see the final sculpt with the spec map. Later I added the hairs you can see with xgen.

Texturing

The texturing was more complicated because there are few images of this baby insect. So I used the few photographs I had as a base, then I repainted over it to redefine its texture and add details.

A diffuse rendering :

Shading / Render

For shading I had already set the bump and the displace with the sculpt work. I needed to use scattering for make its body realistic. Then I've added some variations in the specular.

Compositing

Finally I added the background and an atmosphere by compositing with Nuke.

Thank you for watching !
