@majid !!! Nice to see you here. Thanks for the compliment!

Thank you, Mike.

Thank you Tuna.

Thank you Tuna.

Thank you Majid!

Very cool and interesting!

Thank you.

Spot on Liam. And thanks for the compliment... much appreciated. I always intended to return to this for "renders" and never found the time. These were just test images to confirm the working Skatter. But, you are right. I did use this model only once, after this stage with some plants, that ended up with the DOF. But, it was more about the plants than the bugs. https://sketchucation.com/forums/download/file.php?id=163888&mode=view/rokbox.jpg Topic here: https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=74018

Thanks Tuna

Hi Bryon, Volumetrics, I call God-rays, for me is fog. And if you have fog, you can do this. Thea Render uses two types, a fog setting in environmental control settings as well as object based volumetrics as "cloud". We can set the camera outside this object (which renders as translucence/transparence that can be adjusted) and the sun effects all that is within that object. This works for small rooms where you want the God-rays coming from the windows, stretching to the floor or wherever depending upon where you set your sun. It's worth experimenting with.

Thanks Bryon. He has a wonderful gift for plants and some beautiful plants that work both far and close up.

Thank you Bryan.

Mike, you respond as someone familiar. Sadly, since the group consisted of friends of the original author, despite sharing the same confrontation with mortality, once she died, members have become so shy, it has no activity. Those who were willing to "almost" share in the group before, don't feel the presence of their lost friend. No logo change can make that difference, it's such a personal battle... even if it's loved ones fighting. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

Thank you Bryan.

Very sharp.

Prima.

Like Brian said, .

Thank you both.

Thank you very much. This is a current project that has several levels of development. The implosion device with this wire configuration was completed last year and a second variation has been finalised, which has the bomb in place/installed in support rings and frame within a warhead, which is part of one half of the final presentation that includes a different device. The two bombs together are meant to show the direct comparison between the two weapons within their respective warheads with shrouds. This also meant the wiring had to be done a second time for it to be presented within the "case" or protective covering while sitting in the warhead, with the wires' socket connected to a control box. Once published, I'll be able to share renders so that these wires will have a bit more visual context or explanation/reason to be modelled.
