Very nice. Would you know where I'd be able to find a flower macro? I'm
looking for a realistic flower to put into my "Kitchen Visualization" and
this is about as realistic as I've seen here. Excellent work.

I thought about writing a macro to make the flower but figured it
wouldn't be quite the look I wanted since I modelled this from a certain
flower growing in my garden.  It's made up from patches modelled in
Animation Master and uses my uv mapping patch.  I uploaded a windows
binary of it to binaries.programming and the scenes files to
binaries.scene-files.

It's a lot of stuff to download but did it anyway in case you or someone
else would be interested.

Scaringly realistic, I'm assuming this is textured using image maps, how are
they positioned, planar? As I have problems using image maps on round
surfaces and is it an SPatch type model or clever POV coding?  Good work

Gorgeous!  Very realistic.

uv mapped.

It's from animation master, similiar to sPatch but with mapping support
and many other features.  Clever POV coding perhaps and lots of POV code
hacking. :)

See my reponse to another post above for more info.

Wow really good! To bad the JPEG compression hurt it so much. One comment I
have is that the central part of the flower, the stamens or are those pistils,
could never get the 2 strait, they look like they are just thin cylinders.
This hurts the realism a little.

Thanks.  I didn't notice how bad the compression was until after I
posted it.  Must be the old problem with lots of shades of red in a
jpeg.

The ones with the pollen on them...I don't know either.  You're right.
They are cylinders with spheres on the ends.  Look again at the flower,
the tops should be a little larger and fluffy looking.  I didn't get
around to making the center part yet.

WOW, Impressive. I think everyone need this code :).

Good job!

Fabian.

Yes but you can have different uv mapping : planar, cylindrical,
spherical. Can I know more about it. Which procedure to follow
to get this texture?

Thanks,

Fabian.
