Manta Rays are our friend

Big fan of the site, I learn something from the C&C everyday. I've been wanting to post some work, but I haven’t done anything to the level of complete, the models I’ve done here at the job are ‘finished’ at a WIP level (unfortunatly 3ds max and photorealism/animation is really unappreciated here). Anyways here is some examples of what I have done in the past couple days. We have a project in Baja Mexico, it’s a park for handicap children. The team conjured up a nautical theme for the programs and thought of a shade structure with manta rays as the shade element. They asked me to model something up quick so they can send it to the client. Rendered in mental ray. Simple textures (2 actually) Everything is a dull grey while the fabric has some SSS properties and some glossy reflections as well as some texturing too.
