Product Notes

In Tagalog mythology, in a time before humans, there was a big bird flying between the sea and the sky. Its movement stirred up the ocean and water reached the sky. The sky was irritated by the water. It threw islands at the sea to calm it down and told the bird to build a nest on one of the islands.

The bird did as it was told, but one day, it was injured by a giant bamboo plant. The bird got angry. It started pecking at the bamboo plant and wouldn't stop until the bamboo split open. Out of the bamboo, the first two humans emerged: Maganda ("beautiful") as the first woman and Malakas ("strong") as the first man.

Thanks to my wife for requesting an image of this myth and thus inspiring this model! The split giant bamboo is made with Blender and textured in Mixer and Daz.
