Paper Wasp, 3d Model, Zbrush

Paper Wasp, Zbrush Model, Not a Monster

Tired, I decided not to make another monster, but to revive and improve one of my older models: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3ds-wasp-hornet/689029 To my great surprise, this model is already 8 years old. I remember tediously creating this model, working from photographs, trying very hard to get the details correct. Creating 3d insects can be very difficult. They might be smaller, but they are very intricate in their body structure. It helps to know some general anatomy of insects, since reference photos are often fuzzy macro images with detail in only some areas. ...
