Basic Lipoprotein Coat Renders

I was playing with making lipoprotein phospholipid membranes this morning — the top is a whole and cut view of an HDL particle. Eventually these will be filled with cholesterol, triglycerides, and coated in apoproteins, and lit better.  The bottom is VLDL – notice how much larger it is!

Rendered with caustics and some subsurface scattering.
