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! :>)

This image is incredible, the fruit, the foliage, the background. But the part that leaves me breathless is the tree trunk! That is flat out astonishing! How in the world did you do that???

Beautiful image Rick. The composition is divine and the tree looks so realistic. How'd you know they look like that? I have one in my greenhouse. They grow the best when fed with lots of RAM fertilizer. As for the nature of the triangles, well, I'd tell you but the human language can't form the words to explain it. ;)
