Hey Guys,
THere is good progress on the Interior Design project, BUT part of that tutorial was
originally supposed to be the modeling of flowers using a little system I created for it.
And I have decided to split the two apart and release the flower one before this. THe
interior project is not quite ready yet, there is still a lot to do, I'm not exactly happy
with what I havbe so far. But it won't be much longer.
As for the flower tutorial, it might be ready tonight, but I still have to put the files in
place and upload them to a server and that takes a while. So realistically on Monday or
Tuesday you will be able to donwload it from somewhere.
I've always had trouble modeling plants and flowers and tutorials are hard to come by.
So I searched my soul and found a way to learn it. ANd so I developed a pose mixer system
that will allow you to shape your flowers with great speed and have quite a lot of creative
control. Its pretty great if I may say so myself. :)I don't think that I have even learn
how to take advantage of it fully.
The tutorial is in part the setting up of this system. Maybe you guys will be able to add
to it to make it better. The scene files will be included.
It'll end up being 60-90 minutes. Here is a render test. I'm still trying to get the
petals to look a little translucent. (Any hints would be appriciated!) But its pretty much
done, and I'm now recording the lighting and texturing portion.
THanks for the patience, but I just don't want this to be half assed if you know what I
mean.
CHeers,
Tom
