This is bizarre...creepy even :)
Reminds me of H R Giger.
Quite fascinating. :thumbsup:

weird, very cool but very weird.

Yes, these have a weird and creepy first impression. But once you get past that first bite of a chicken wing, they start looking just plain wonderful.

This is done from volumetric data. You should see the inside!
~saruman-23:iconsaruman-23: Nov 20, 2006, 2:28:20 PM
aye, i read that it was volumetric... how do you come about the data?
~saruman-23:iconsaruman-23: Nov 20, 2006, 2:30:32 PM
i've just gone and given this a second look, after your comment (to show my girlfriend the image). it's breathtaking, a definite fav+ on sheer aceness

I added a link to the source for the raw data in "artist's comments"

Wow... oh so creepy...

Beautiful model.

Thought about texturing it? or would that ruin the effect?

Well, it's not so much a model as the real thing; the surface is modeled on the fly. In principle it could be texture mapped, but there aren't good tools -- it would be laborious to assign every surface patch (~1/4 x number of pixels) a texture.

It would be nice to more simply color code by region. For example to highlight the feather bumps, eyes, etc.
