First I went and got a dendelion blossom out of my yard. Then I made one yellow petal, arranged them in rings and tweaked each one individually. The Dandelions have some other little structure in the blossom which I also added. The leaves are reasonably straight forward. I drew a general leaf shape in the spline modeler and made it VERY flat. Then I changed it to the vertex modeler and went to town on it with the magnet. Had to fool around to get the shader aceptable but leaves are beginning to be something I'm starting to get a rope around. I'm learning. With hind sight, I could have done the big leaves in the vertex modeler completely. I want to put a bee in the blossom but I have a spider already made up (it's on the cd by the way). Here's a blowup. I'm working on the bee now. I just wanted to post the flower ahead of time. -Kix
