IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    A day in the life of a bug as seen from a bug's perspective.
I got the idea for this bug from one I actually saw while playing baseball with
my daughter.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    This bug was created completely in
the RayDream freeform editor, with the exception of the eyes which are simple
spheres.  The entire model took about 45 hours to create.  The shading and
texture are files I created myself in the shader editor.  I am including a zip
file this time with the shaders included in case anyone would like to use them,
unfortunately they will be in raydream format as I don't have any programs to
convert them to other formats.  The bug model is being provided in RayDream
form as well as DXF.
