Description

Ultrafractal 3.02 - Apophysis2 betas 17&18 - Photoshop7 (for re-stacking of layers after rendering the fruit and edge foliage in UF and to rough up the edges of the tree trunk - aaak! p-p! lol) In the deepest, darkest reaches of the Amazon River forest grows the strange and exotic batuka orchid - the fruit of which is said to give the fortunate finder crystal clear visions and knowledge of just what, exactly, the function of each of the golden triangles in the Lost Incan Temple of Apophysis are and the ability to achieve perfect harmony and balance in their arrangement. Never found one of them, myself - whatever "visions" I might have are supplied by large doses of Granny Smith. LOVE those apples! lol Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to spray on some skeeter repellent! :>)

Simply excellent! Love the whole thing! The story is cool to know. By the way, my honey started using Downy sheets to fight the mosquitoes, and it works. Rub it all over you, then tuck the sheet in your pocket. v (:

"Exotic" is the word! What an amazing piece of work, Rick. The designs (that's plural :), colors, textures, layering, masking and overall composition are incredible. You work a kind of digital magic with your mighty mouse..and in the "deepest, darkest reaches of the Amazon River forest," no less! You've created a wonderful ambiance of mystery and beauty here. Thank YOU!

Your texturing on the tree trunk is absolutely outstanding Rick, ive never seen such realistic wood texturing from UF. Your sphere is gorgeous. Linda said it perfectly, a VERY exotic piece. Beautiful work :)

Oh MAN, Rick! The whole scene just rocks! I love the horizon, understated water pool, and of course that fab tree and fruit! Not to mention you'll have me singing "Put de lime in de coconut" for days now!
