The attached image was created with Cinema 4D. No 3rd party plugins, only the built in materials editor used to create the gritty and moldy texture.

Oooh, that looks nice, too Bill. That's two 3d programs I'll have to check out, Carrara & and Cinema 4D. Good job Christmas is coming!
Saludos,
Bob.

Thanks for posting that, Jimi. It's not the plugin that does all the work, you have to know: A) what you are doing, and B) how to present the result. Yours looks stunning. Nice reflection, too.
Saludos,
Bob.

Most kind Bob. Many thanks.

That last ones a corker Bill. You can almost touch that.

Bob the educational version of C4D is less expensive than the commercial version. The only difference is the license, none of the functionality is disabled.

I took a C4D class with the eclectic academy online and got the educational version for a greatly reduced price.

Thanks Jimi.

Thanks for the tip, Bill. I'm rooting around on the Maxon site now.
Saludos,

Bob you can download Truespace 7.6 for free from Caligari's website

The attached was made using Truespace 7.6 and a texture map I created in Xara Xtreme.

There's a new boxed copy of Cinema 4D V10 here for £50 if anyone wants it.

I was tempted, but I don't really have the time to get my head around 3d modelling. X3D is enough for my needs really.

Mike, that looks like a science project growing in the fridge.

Thanks to Bill Taylor for pointing me at the It Came From The Swamp font which I used for this bit of slime.
Saludos,
Bob.
