Has anyone seen a model of a single stalk of wheat anywhere for download? Or does anyone know of a tutorial on creating one? It doesn't seem like it should be too difficult, but tutorials are almost always more efficient than figuring it out myself. :-)

If one doesn't show up, I might be able to make one. How soon do you need it?

I've already tried there, with no luck. :-( Hiram, there's no rush, and if you'd just like to give some general instructions, I could probably do it myself. I'm used to modelling in Bryce with heightmaps and booleans, and I can do a little in Cinema. I'm thinking if I create spline outlines for the... seed thingie part, and make a loft nurb, then it would just have to be duplicated enough times. Am I on the right track?

Hell, I don't know, I just make it up as I go along! I use Amorphium, it's great for organic shapes. I think it would be quicker for me to do it that explain it! I'll see what I can come up with. I've wanted one before as well.
