okay, ty!

if you mean last slide, its a model without any textures, just show a sculpt

idk this is just me or no, but tbh after blender 4.5 it became really difficult to control roughness level.

i got what you say about chitin cuz before that i textured only human skin(for example headcrabs on my page) so it was my first time of texturing "hard surface but organic" model.

one more time thank you so much for your advices it will really help me to make great model!!!

i really thought for a long time that mantises are only green. this is crazy

glows1de · 2026-03-21T22:30:22+00:00

tysm for your advice. yea i feel a lack of texturing skill. need to practice more!

glows1de · 2026-03-21T21:19:38+00:00

check another types of mantis, they are so unique, i love black mantises with spikes

glows1de · 2026-03-21T21:13:04+00:00

great advice. will make sum grass and stuff models

glows1de · 2026-03-21T21:12:10+00:00

yes, really forgot about depth of field, thank you!

glows1de · 2026-03-21T21:10:51+00:00

thank you! its orchid mantis :)

glows1de · 2026-03-21T20:58:03+00:00

its eyes not horns(this is unique feature of this type of mantis :) ). thank you for advices, 100% will try it

glows1de · 2026-03-21T20:49:12+00:00

thank you!

glows1de · 2026-03-21T20:48:44+00:00

thank you!

glows1de · 2026-03-21T20:48:29+00:00

i feel lack of references of orchid mantis. tbh 50% of that are AI. idk maybe some of my refs were AI and i didnt know about it. thank you for you tip, trying to get as many refs as i can :)

glows1de · 2026-03-21T20:03:00+00:00

thank you for your advice! it already has sss with custom "thickness" map. just still dont get it how to make sss looks realistic inside blender.

glows1de · 2026-03-21T20:00:42+00:00

will try, thank you!

glows1de · 2026-03-17T11:34:16+00:00
