I'm making this for a card O:-) It will give me lots of POV "credits" for 
the coming 12 months...

Anyway, I modelled the rose petal in ProEngineer and exported it as a mesh, 
then used POV to make multiple random copies.  There are two intersecting 
but that will simply be a case of tweaking the random seed in the final.

The vase is simple CSG of spheres and a torus for the top ring.  The stalk 
is a sphere sweep with cones for the thistles.

The background is the HDR demo scene that comes with MegaPOV.

Just one point light source and photons.

I think the red of the petals needs to be brighter?

 It may be more dramatic lighting. But nice looks.

Nice...

I find something amusing about using "ProEngineer" to create an 
artificial faximily of a natural object. Don't ask me why...

They're called thorns honey. ;-)

Erm... perhaps. Depends on the effect you want. Personally, I quite like 
the colour they are now - a very deep, strong, dramatic red. Gives it 
character. (But then, maybe I just like dark colours? My favourit colour 
is dark green. Emerald, if you will.)

Anyway, a nice image. (Nicer than anything I ever made anyway...)

Well that's what you get for being an Engineer :-)  Seriously though, I 
knocked it up in 5 or 10 minutes, variable section sweep of an arc (radius 
controlled by an exponential of the distance along the sweep), and the sweep 
path was a conic section curve.  Then I added some thickness and rounded the 
edges.  It would have taken me forever to work out how to that using SDL, 
and I couldn't have adjusted the parameters in real time to get it looking 
right :-)

...so you're one of the people who wastes company time outside their 
lunchbreak then? ;-)

Looks good, however I'd suggest either a slightly shorter vase or a 
longer stalk .. there's probably rules that florists use so you could 
ask one, but I'm guessing that about 50/50 vase/stalk.

Also, I think you have too many thorns on there .. once again, check 
with the local florist.

Good luck with the POV-Points ..

Cheers!

What's wrong with that?!
