Aaaaand good news!
Now, I have a plan for how I will create this model. Before this, I was just creating iterations after iterations of the petal model hoping I would create a good model with a not-so-obvious repeating pattern.
My plan consists of creating 5 different petal models. Yeah, I said in the past that it would take a lot of time. But this seems to be the best way to create a whole flower model. Tedious, slow, but simple and straightforward.
To-do list:
Create 5 petals (5/5)
Retopo (0/5)
Create a texture (0/5)
Create a flower base (-)
Create a rig (-)
Polish (-)
The second screenshot shows the scale of the model to a 1.76m tall person. Quite big, isn't it?
If you are curious if this model will be public? Yeah, it will!
But, it will become public somewhere within 2 months after CA8 release. I will need to polish it a lot and make the rig actually usable by anyone. CA8 will use a more raw version as it acts as a background prop and only needs to be slightly animated.
