render time 42min.
I tried to make it look damp or slightly wet. If anyone knows a better way to make that come across MORE or more realistically...please give me some ideas...thanks!

thats an inch worm. They are typically VERY small. Hence the shallow depth...really want to give that macro look.
I will have to look up unwrapping UV's now to see what that is. Is that where you can prevent the PSD texture from stretching and squashing once its wrapped onto the model? If so that is the problem I was having with the leaf but Im happy with the current look. As for the worm I have never built a model other then this leaf. My only other project was text inside maya. So this will be a challenge but a learning experience. Im sure I will watch a tut and modify to make my worm. I am about to buy zbrush to help. with the worm modeling.
BTW Thanks for the replys im glad im getting feedback

Technically they're not worms at all, they're little green caterpillars of a moth (as you can probably see from the flickr pic). They're called that cause they look like they're measuring out inches as they move along.Originally posted by hammer.horror

Very realistic looking environment, btw, looking forward to seeing the progress.

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
