Lots More Adjusting Textures, Glows and Such...

Playing with the texture:

Accidently attached a file to the transparency and although I won't be using them they do look pretty cool:

 Back to glows:

Adjusting eccentricity:

I think this is better... Any thoughts would be much appreciated! :)

After Effects Workshops...

Our first After affects tutorial:



Our awesome one today:



I'd see that film :D

New Texture Tests...

Adding a bump:

 Playing with specular roll off maps and specular colour ramps:

 Playing with inner glows:

 Slightly increased bump maps:

With the vein too:

It's becoming more interesting for sure!

I need to tweak the texture still because there's a thick seam and the top and bottom of the sphere should match a little better but I'm glad it's getting somewhere at least!
I think I'm starting to get the hang of it a little more now too which is lovely :D

Lots of Texturing Help...

Jono helped me a lot with what you can do in maya when it comes to textures, looking at the different channels you can plug images into. Here are a few of the images from these experiments:

Original:

Diffuse:

Playing with inner glows:

Putting it in the scene:

A little bit deformed:

There's still lots to do but at least I can be getting on with something now. Expect more experiments to come! :D

More Texture Stuff...

Tweaked B Cell Texture:

First T Cell Texture:

Next Textures:

I'm still working on them and they're not finished I'm Maya by a long shot but it's all progress.
