Attached Link: Sakura Blossoms

These are the blossoms of the famous cherry blossom trees of Japan..see link to image

It has to have poseable petals and work in Poser PP, or 5

Not asking for free, will pay reasonable to someone interested in doing it via their paypal account, etc.

And yes you keep copyright, etc..I just need it for a movie.

The reason I want the petals poseable is so i can make a group of them perhaps for trees and them not all look exactly the same .. aka variety :o)

By the way I have been in some other forums where others are looking for one as well..might be a good item for you to market..as I have yet to find one anyplace.

I am aware of xfrog..but I can't see paying $120 USD for just a flower..lol

they bloomed here last month (global warming) I wonder if somebody has a freebie link

I doubt it nancy..I have looked everywhere,,there is lots of images..of course..but no actual working realistic looking prop of one.

I need it pretty realistic for closeup shots, etc

Of course it is a unique flower, not to be confused with the American, etc cherry tree blossom :o)

And of course also i would be thriiled to find a free one.. lol

I have seen many Sakura models, but none of them were posable. You could convert a good model into be posable. You could even convert a model into a cloth in the cloth room (make good use of constrain and ridged) and run "wind" on it to create a breeze if you're up to experimenting. (Might want to render your picture upside down though because poser gravity with convert your trees into willows.) Hmm... maybe I should try this.... ;) You can do a search for Sakura here: http://mystic-nights.com Daz also has cherry trees models. And then there also switching to Vue and Bryce to do your scene. bB

Content Paradise gave away a free shade version.  PoserClub Japan has the sakura petals version.

Ty for the reply Bast,,

1: I have no clue how to use the materials room..lol
2: I have the cherry tree blossom prop from Daz..but when you zoom to the flowers..they are just distorted and look fake.

Of course the ones on xfrog's DVD (not the billboard) are nice, but as I said..I do not see the point spending that much on their DVD..for just the one flower.

I simply want the flower.not the whole tree.. :o)

It will fall from the sky into my Japanese girl charactor's hand..and when she looks at it..I want to zoom in on it.. for a closeup. Later I will pose many of them on a bared tree.

Well that's a long story there , but it's part of the mini movie's story..don't want to give away the whole story..you know  :o)

The movie will be a free one for people to download..not one you have to buy tickets to see..heh heh

Thanks inifnity..

I do not own Shade..but I do visit PoserClub Japan sometimes..nice free stuff there..even though I have no clue what the site is saying .. lol

But heck they were nice enough to let me join :o)

radstorm, I feel your image is fantasic. But cherry flower does not fall whole flower, just each petals(at least common cherry flower like your referenced picture).

Cherry blossoms will be full bloom this weekend here Tokyo:-)

Hatsumi

p.s. In my site, distributing whole cherry tree model now. Not good one, lol

Thank you, h-kana for reply;

Yes I know real they fall as blossom, but I do not want to be too realistic.

Remeber I say it falls from the sky, not a tree :o)

I got inspired by this after talking to my friend in Japan, and reading legends about the tree such as good man, bad man.

And also the lovely song.

Anything that can bring so many people together peacefully and happily can never be a bad thing :o)

To bad the whole world can't see the sakura better.

Thanks for the link also..very nice plants..

As for your site..nothing wrong with your tree, and excuse me while I leech your files..lol

That castle is awesome!

Maybe still one of the Poser gurus here can visit that plant site..and use it as a base to make one poseable..for reference of course..not to hack it

Another Japanese website with 3DS sakura petals blowing in the wind.  Import into Poser.

Hatsumi-san,

thank you for all your fantastic 3D items !!  And your website is fantastic, simply brilliant.  I have visited it many many times over the last few years.

Oh yea! Thanks for the link.

So flower is the focus not the tree. Sounds like a nice animation.

Did you know the famous Cherry Trees in Washington DC were a gift from Japan? ^^

Okay. Awhile back I ran across a gorgeous Sakura Flower freebie. It was a lightwave model in lwo format. It was a Japanese website and it had items for sell too. I remember it being tricky to download, like you had to register with the store first and the site was all Japanese. There were several very cool models there (like a school girl penny loafer shoe?).  I don't have a site link though. :(

bB

Yes thanks for the link infinity..liked the trolly car there too..never know when I meet one of those :o)

learning a lot of new sites now.., with very nice items

Bast..yes I did, back in the very early 1900s I think

National park service is pretty protective of them too..but then again since the days of George Wahington..we have been a bit chop crazy..lol

lwo would be ok,, as I can just convert it :o)

Still hoping though someone can just come up with an original around here..I am sure somebody can..

well except me .. lol

As for me..I am trying out different terrain editors to recreate Mount Fujisan :o)

Hmm, no takers I assume..oh well..you can dump this thread if you want, forum admin :o)

Terrain editors - head on over to the Terragen Forum yonder.  Definitely can do a conical volcano.

Yes, That's the site! Thanks so much for the link. It's a plum flower? Oopsie. It's very pretty.

radstorm,

Your best bet, imho, is to use Tucan's Cherry in the foreground with the figure.
http://toucan.web.infoseek.co.jp/3DCG/3ds/FlowerModelsE.html

In the background use Daz cherry trees:

And sakura petals blowing in the wind:
http://jazy.eek.jp/indexdl.htm

Pretty. ^^

Also...

Poser billboard cherry trees:

Or if you own Vue or Bryce, use cherry tree billboards:

And You could also use an existing Vue scene:
http://www.expandingwave.com/galleries/vuestuff/vuescenes.htm

I think I saw a Vue scene put together with Mt Fuji somewhere....

Do you have a Mt Fuji DEM? 

bB

Sorry, Japanese DEM data is not free now.  Geographical Institute Survey publishes DEM and  restricts  its usage.
You can purchase DEM from GIS but I feel it's bit pricey.
http://www.gsi.go.jp/ENGLISH/MAPS/map-geo.html

I recommend to try   Japanese EF's tutorial.
http://content.e-frontier.co.jp/e-on/efimage/srtm_dem.html
Written in Japanese and for Vue5, but maybe you can translate it.
The page says:
1.Get SRTM from NASA site. Japanese data is in Eurasia folder and Fuji mt. data is in N35E138.hgt.zip.

1. Get 3DEM and convert SRTM into DEM.
2. Revise the data in 3DEM and export DEM data.

Hope this helps:-)

Hatsumi

Thanks for the links. ^^ bB
