Hey Guys,

i have a seen a very nice Model of an Human Antibody in the Internet and tried to recreate a similar model. I tried several techniques like 3D Displacement (with Cell-Map) on different Shapes, Blobmeshes, but none of these were really effective. Have u any Idea of how to get a model like this done?

thanks, but i try to stay inside of max. are there any other relevant approaches i could try?

Try using scatter to add spheres all over this object.  Might give it that organic look?

Which image are you trying to replicate?

Attached is a sample file with a really quick example of making this kind of effect. Essentially… just use some basic Editable Poly tools and common modifiers...you should get the effect fairly quickly.

I would also try meta particles and mesher. Some time ago I did similar models this way with pretty good result.

thanks to your answers, especially to your model shawn. it helped a lot!
