Okay, don't ask why, but I felt compelled to make a viral spring rendering. 
Maybe because I have caught a cold??

ohhh ... nice!

Several viruses meeting up...and apparently not agreeing on the subject of the day (judging by their colors).

Not for the faint of heart:
Two viruses making out in plain microscopic sight. Oh, behave...

Thanks!
Tomorrow morning, I'll try to find a way to share a KeyShot package.
I hope I can get it small enough for distribution, as the current scene file is a whopping 1.4GB! (I imported with highest quality import settings to get the springs to look OK.)
Keep an eye on the Scene section of the Share boards tomorrow.

I wanted my funnel-shaped glycoproteins to look more organic.
So I applied a very deep, random banded normal map on them.

Sweet stuff. Thanks a bunch for sharing the model.
I love these images.

Way cool stuff... In the first image though, you can see segmentation in the geometry

My favourite is the last one - I love it that when they touch they illuminate
