Bee Wings

The wing matrix was filled with a peach pit reflection map, and the cells from mussel shell. The matrix fill could be applied since this was a drawing with a small number of nodes.

I made a body drawing looking at an image of a blue bee, and colored it with black bee and blue bee reflection maps. Rich

This was the Bee model I used. Rich

I was looking at the black bee, and its eyes were different. It had antenna, also. Flys appear to have one set of wings, and bees seem to have two pairs. I'll have to start comparing wing patterns to see if they are any similarities. I found a black bee on the pavement. I photograph it indoors, but need better lighting. Just couldn't see any detail.

This looks to be a better bee model. Rich
