Pretty much there..... :o)

Pretty much done now and I'm pretty chuffed with how the stamp images look :o)

I Photo-shopped the stamp formats from scratch and added the Queens head, class and Tiptree Heath text.

The poor fly sits at 3rd class (we don't even have a 3rd class :oD ) whilst the Blue Tit has the honour of being 1st class as he's at the top of this particular food chain :o)

Hope you like em ;o)

Ps, thanks for all the cakes to keep us going Anna-x-



Spider framing.

Today I've been mostly.......... setting up my spider shot :o) I've put 3 omni lights in right in line with the 'camera' to capture a realistic 'flash' effect.
The shot's a bit fussy for a stamp but I'll crop it later on in Photoshop.

Lights, Camera, blah blah blah ;o)

Today's mammoth 3DsMax session mostly centred around lighting the fly model and selecting an appropraite scene for the upcoming stamp design. I'll crop in quite tightly to focus on the fly model but leave some of the flower behind him to help with perspective.
