Well, here´s a personal project i´ve just finished; i did the model to use it in an animation for my portfolio, but i liked a lot the result so i wanted to do a still image with it.

I tried to do a biologically (to a certain extent) correct brain, but i didn´t found any tutorials on how to make it in 3d max so i had to start to do it and experimenting, and i found a way that got me where i wanted to go, more or less.

I wanted the final image to look like a poster for an old horror movie, like those made in the forties and fifties.
