Purple Orchid

I'm currently spending the holidays practising doing environment models. I thought I'd show this one - my third.

It's 294 polygons with one 256x256 texture.

Nice

I don't know if it was your intention, but that line around the fronds at the top kinda of throw it off. If it was a cartoony look you were going for though, then this is right on.

hmm cartoony was definitely not the look I was going for so I did some minor changes and replaced the "fronds". Sorry my english isn't that sharp. Is fronds the same as stamen?
also I've distributed the pixels a little better in the new texture.

Thanks

Definitly well executed. When practicing your skills you should do things that are challenging. Try painting the pedals and leaves yourself rather than photosourcing.

Thanks Adam

I see your quite the environmentalist yourself. I think I'll take you up on that advice. I'll give those leaves half an hour more work and give them more of a handcrafted look.

Most of the work is photosourced which is kind of a switch I made lately. I actually think is easy to get some okay results like for example the petals on this one.

Some more WIPs made in milkshape. 280 & 260 tris.



There's a slight problem with the first capture. Milkshape has problems with depth sorting on transparent textures.

Kill the black outline on the first plants' leaves. The seconds' texture looks a little blurry but it could be taken right out Morrowind. Good work.
