Dragonfly!
(from December 2 2004 to January 2, 2005)

Here be dragons!

Or at least dragonflies! Ray won our latest challenge and so he gets to decide the next one and the theme is dragonfly.

The challenge involves modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering a scene with a dragonfly of your choice. All Cinema plugins including xfrog is ok to use, as are commercial textures, but no models that you haven't done yourself.

Some inspiration:
