Eric Keller's Portfolio: beetle thing render

Me: Eric Keller

Hi and welcome to my Blog. This is a hastily compiled record of my digital art and computer graphics experiments. I am a freelance CG artist living and working in Hollywood CA. I have written several books on Maya and ZBrush. Below my blog you'll find links to the books and tutorials I have authored and co-authored. I also occasionally teach at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood.I named my blog "Bloopatone" in honor of my first dog "Blue". She passed away a few years ago and I still miss her even though she was very grouchy and liked to bite me!

I'm proud to be an instructor at The Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Take a look at the work of our students and instructors on the Gnomon School Blog and the Gnomon Workshop Blog

beetle thing render

So I'm learning luxion Keyshot while developing my singing beetle concept. Here are a few renders that show parts of the internal anatomy of the beetle, jut those parts related to how the beetle makes music. I'll have some animated versions eventually that explain the mechanism in more detail. I kind of wanted an unassuming looking bug that will eventually create weird and crazy sounds.
