Description
Synaptic TerminalA collaboration between me and Kim laurila [link] . He created the organic (neuron) looking render and they reminded me immidiatlyto some illustrations in my biology book. The shapes really look like a structure of a vertebrate neuron.
For those who didnt pay attention in biology class here is some information wich should make the concept more clear.
The cell body of an structure of a vertebrate neuron has two types of processes, or extensions: Dendrites generally receive inputs and conduct signals toward the cell body, whereas axons conduct signals away from the cell body. At the end of the axon, terminal branches each have a synaptic terminal that makes connections with other neurons or target cells.
The working of the CNS (central nervous system) always facinated me. So i tried to make in this picture an visual intrepretation
of it. I hope you like it

I don't get how u can make renders with such a depth! Love the colours 3D and lightning but it's too busy for my taste

One of the best abstract pieces I've seen in a looooooong time . . . incredible design.
I do have one suggestion: add some texture to the actual fibers, whether it be a rough fractalesque texture or even a glowing effect . . . I think it'd really add to it. Stellar work, you two

hmm... o_0 very interesting... the far background seems to me to have an almost industrial look to it, i enjoy the inuendo... intended or not...
this is almost enough to make my take biology 101 again, while paying attention... *almost*.
kudos...

This is amazing on both your parts. Excellent job! Before I read the description, I was thinking something along the lines of the brain and the nervous system. It's beautiful, I'm gonna add it to my favorities.

Neurons, eh? I guess creative license allows for it. Anyway, from a purely artistic standpoint, it's kinda intriguing. Nice work, the both of you.

beautiful and wonderful, the shapes are so nice and new...the kite structures join with the wires and form a stunning messy composition yet pleasing to the eyes. The lighting and dusty glows add more to the image...it is just captivating!
good job!~ Ready to do something together for dC?
