I was interested in beetles for a while. This is the result. I used this mostly as a project to become acquainted with rendering realistic textures. This was to be used in the film "Laika".

The window seal was created as a set for the beetle.

What I Did: Everything (Modeling, Texturing, Lighting, Rendering)

Tools: Newtek Lightwave, Photoshop
