Just something I've been playing around with. This isn't meant to
perfectly emulate any specific kind of plant, though it does rather
resemble yucca. I'll probably make this into a real scene eventually.

That looks strikingly like alovara, the texture just needs to be darker
and a bit more specular.

The texture looks very good!
Is this really called a yucca? I believe here we would call this aloe or
something like that.

That looks nice, some dried curling leaves at the bottom and some
irregularities like damaged leaves would be good. My parents have some
kind of yucca in the garden, the leaves there are a little more blue. BTW
it also has flowers :-)

It does look like a yucca, some of the leaves seem to start below
ground. Is this an iso?

Not sure how I'd do those. Probably best not to try.

Funny you should mention that. ;)
I don't know what kind of flower I'll give this thing; that's a project

The spikes are CSG (a cone minus a cone). They're placed with a loop.

It appears this also called a yucca, so disregard my previous comment.
BTW I've seen these in bloom (?). The flowers can get a couple of meters high
and as far as I know they only get flowers once in every fourteen years or so
(and then die?).
So, here's some more trivia to correct me on ;)

That would be an Agave,

Aloe Vera. There are similarities, they are both succulents with pointed
leaves, but aloe leaves are less pointy, have little soft spikes on
their edges, and their leaves are always opposite each other in a single
plane, not in a radial formation like this. This texture is just right
for aloe, though.

I had something like that near where I lived when I was young, and in
fact I was even there to see it bloom. (I don't remember if it died
afterwards.. it doesn't seem like it did.) We called it a "century
plant". I have no idea if that was an agave or not, but it wasn't a
yucca.. the leaves were much different.

You're right of course. I mixed up a couple of things obviously.
As far a I know, most Yucca's you'll find here are growing indoors, the leaves
are thinner and the grow on stems (right word?). Or am I mixing things up yet
again?

Given all the succulents in the world, that has to be a dead ringer for
one of them. Oddly realistic and not at the same time.

I like cacti and succulents, have a little pot (more like dish or platter) of
six of 'em in my room :)

I used to have a little one in a pot velcroed to the top of my car's
dashboard. It lived for years on coffee dregs and an occassional bit of
coke. And the looks it would get were worth every penny of the $2 it
cost. If I could have managed a camera I would have a great collection
of pedestrian double-takes at crosswalks.

Thes eplants will rot here before then can get flowers. That is, outdoors.
Indoors you'd need a high ceiling. The question mark was because I wasn't sure I
used the right frase/word/term (here I go again).

I wonder why you post your JPG as a progressive type and not as a
straight type? First image I posted was progressive and nearly everybody
fell over me :-(
BTW it is nice and life-like, I wouldn't want to cut myself with it :)

Progressive is smaller, and no one ever gave me any trouble over it.. if
it's a problem, someone let me know, and I'll turn it off.

The standard viewer of my newsreader doesn't accept progressive jpg's; I
have to resort to another one. But if I'm the only one: don't bother...
I'll do that.
