mtpeak2 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I've been working on a toon flower model for the trees with leaves project. I discovered something interesting. You can control hair guides with a pose slider. The model is set up for toon render, but I think I'll be able to set an image for the petals for normal renders. I'll be adding sliders for color, size of petals and for flower growth. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mootsger Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 That's awsome! I would end it a few frames earlier though. The petals look a little droopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 You can adjust the slider whereever you like. I left it wide open depending on the flower type. Flowers don't all open the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl3d Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Nice job I guess you are the list plant expert now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 Here's an update with new sliders. Still need to add leaves to stem and underside of flower. I need to talk with Bill Gaylord about the growth slider for the flower. I'd like to know how he got it to grow along a path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 Thanks johnl, but I don't think I qualify as an expert. I'm sure there are alot of people on the list that could do better than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iham Wrong Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Looks really good to me. But, i'm no expert. Just a hobbiest. <grins> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSalami Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 that's cool all the petals seem to freak out there in the middle of the animation, is there some way to make it look smoother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 That's because I was changing the length and thick, and yes it can be smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgaylord Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Nice work. It's experiments like this that can lead can lead to some really innovative art. I certainly appreciate work like this which pushes the bounds. If you haven't seen it you should check out Stephen Bruce's aloe vera plant animation for some inspiration! Aloe Vera I think what you are doing will lead to more efficient ways to do a whole flower bed. Thanks for the help so far in developing the use of "hair" for leaves, too. Keep up the good work!

mtpeak2 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 Thanks Bill for the help, it worked like a charm. I simplified it into one slider, but I might change that. Here's the test mov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted May 30, 2004 Admin Share Posted May 30, 2004 Awesome work guys! Charting new territory while creating great art! Hope Marcel can find time to drop in and post a comment or two.

mtpeak2 Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Here's a test for non-toon render. added an image for the petals and gave the stem some texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl3d Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 looks great now covert it to hair and have a garden ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Smith Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 That's a very cool flower you've made, mtpeak2. I doubt I'm the only one who would like to see the files for it -- this technique would be good to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 When I think it's done I post it for download as an add-on to the trees with leaves project. Still have a few things to work out. I'll see what I can do John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
