Morning Dew Flower Part 2

This is the second stage of the Morning Dew Flower 3D Image. I started this stage by creating a petal. I did this by going to the main menu located at the right of the screen and then clicking on the 'Create' tab. I then clicked on the menu called 'Splines' and selected the option 'Line'. This will allow me to draw a 2D shape using lines. When I clicked on the the 'Line' option a menu appeared below the 'Object Type' menu. I selected the options 'Smooth' in the 'Intial Type' menu and 'Smooth' in the 'Drag Type' menu. This will make the shape that I draw smooth looking and look more organic, which is what I am looking for. I then drew the shape that I wanted on the stage. Once I had done this I right clicked on the object and then converted it into a poly. This will then allow me to modfy it. I then clicked on the 'Vertex' option located in the 'modify' panel and then selected random points around the edge of the petal. I then moved them about to give the shape a more organic and realistic look.

Once I had got the desired shape that I wanted I then duplicated it and then arranged them so that it looked like a flower. I resized the petals so that they looked different. To do this I right clicked on the petal that I wanted to re-size and then scroll down to 'Scale', which allowed me to scale down the size of the petal.

When I had postioned all of the petals and made them look less regimented and then wanted to put a 'Bend' modifyer on them. I wanted them to look more realistic and the Bend option would make the petals to make them look like a more organic shape. To use the Bend option I went to the Modifyer list and then clicked on the drop down menu. I then scrolled down to the 'Bend' modifyer and then a 'Bend parameters' menu will appear. I then tried the different options on this menu to get the desired option that I wanted. I did this to all of the petals on the flower and the nearly final flower image was created. All is needed is to add the Textures and the Butterfly which will be placed on the end of the petal.
















Next I added another texture to the flower center make it look more like the flowers in the background image. This will then make the flower look like part of the picture. I also added a speckle map to the 'Filter Color' option. This gave it a more realistic feel to it.
