I really liked working with these paints! If you’re painting over a metallic finish or want a crystal clear effect, Candies are the way to go. I mostly used the regular Transparents because it’s easier to tell what the color is and they don’t red to be mixed with 4050 UVLS gloss.

Being an artist is the most beautiful thing I know. You had a giant caterpillar in your head and said “no, this needs to be out here in my hands so I can show it to people” and then you just did that. Incredible.

Conveniently forgetting the Z- brush license and a top of the range 3-D printer.

Caterpillars only eat the type of plant that the butterfly lays it's eggs on. They can't eat anything else besides that plant (monarch caterpillars eat milk weed, ect).

If someone makes a toy brand on prehistoric creatures like the Dino Rider series, stuff like this would be awesome in it!

[@Kayakasaurus]

Cyberzoic is doing that w Dinos. Insects would be super cool

[@Theonetrueerenyeager]

I agree! We need prehistoric animal toys like from dino rider!

[@heroesytumbas]

Don't think a creature like this looks rideable.

[@Lyccount]

As someone who loves color-changing things and articulated things, you can imagine my raw delight at seeing this little champ. It's so adorable! Probably one of my favorite things you've made. Great job Kayak!

[@WhywouldIbeaVentiMain]

Oh yeah that things absolutely adorable (throws slipper at it in fear) yep totally normal, ya know it kinda looks like a Shiba Inu (no it does not)-

[@gameyybuilds]

This is just fantastic. I couldn’t believe the thumbnail wasn’t just a photo of the original caterpillar till I watched the video. Superb work!

You should add lore to this: megalepidoptera is a genus of proto Lepidoptera that is found from the late Carboniferous to the late Permian, they are the ancestors of moths, and butterflies. A genus of them includes the first fossil of one called megalithus, the one featured in this video *AKA it’s larval form* another genus features the biggest one in this genus, megalepiro.

[@abaddonarts1129]

I really really appreciate how you walked through the ZBrush sculpting steps! I know not many people have access to software like that or even have the time to work with it, but as an Animation student working with Blender it was really satisfying and helpful to see those extra steps. (I don't plan to make something like this, but just seeing how other people's workflow stimulates the creative part of my brain)

[@Kayakasaurus]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it! the app I was using is actually super accessible, it’s $20 and I used it on an iPad.

[@MrCamerooooon]

What program did you use to split the sculpt into sections??

[@mabeI]

@@Kayakasaurus what app was it?

[@fallfever6568]

[@arsoncreates6375]

you should do the hickory horned devil caterpillar next! it's so beautiful, and some variations look like branching coral.

[@heroesytumbas]

I usually don't care about 3d printed figures, but you make it interesting.

[@LethalSaliva]

Absolutely incredible! It even looks cuter than the real thing. It would be cool to use a 3D printer to replicate some toys I had once.

i think something really cool for you to recreate would be those animals that were found cuddling right before dying its known as “The saddest fossil” or “A triassic cuddle set” you could make the fossils or the animal cuddling, it would be really nice

[@serpentartist1348]

Obviously the sculpt and painting were incredible, but can I also say that the sound design/music for this was delightful as well

[@Z3r0e_]

it looks like a snom. and thats a wonderful thing

[@dunka12]

You can increase the tolerances in your modelling software, so things don't fit that crazy tight. When curing, resin tends to shrink, but not uniformly, so you can't rely on that. I would also sand a bit the parts that need to slide on one another if i see it requires too much force.

[@Richard-rx8qy]

Please make more of these Gummy bugs!!! This was freaken amazing!!

[@patriotjedi530]

Bro, 110% yours is better than real life! Your attention to detail and skill is amazing!!!

[@MC4TWT]

Caterpillar hairs are almost always used for sensing movement in the air and vibrations around them. Sometimes, these hairs may not be poisonous but might be sharp enough to stick into you and irritate your skin a little, sort of like tarantulas do. The ones that sting will have much thicker needle like structures on their bodies instead of fine hairs.

[@Kayakasaurus]

Nice to know thank you
