Webs

I took an old, pretty boring project I did for class a while ago and tried to bring it back to life using a spider and some webs. Because spiders and webs can make anything look cool. But then I realized I had never actually tried doing webs. Much testing/cursing ensued, and here's the first pass.
Each web in the shot has its own shader as I'm trying to figure out which is heading in the right direction...but they're all a bit cartoony right now. . And I need to show those roots some more love as they're a little on the plastic side.
