I'm going to disagree with Miss B and say reduce the bump on the petals. Petals aren't smooth so you need some bump just less than what you have.
OK, I guess I didn't get my thoughts across properly, but I agree they should have some bump, just not all the bump in some of those renders. I just think the green leaves can use more bump than the petals. No bump at all on the petals, and they'll look flat, so they do need some.

hmm........ ok, but I rather thought the leaves had too much bump as they are really more smooth.

Iray!

The Daz Set will be ready for testing soon. I just need to do the transmaps and leaf options. Propably 1 or 2 on the transmaps. I would do more, but Poser is rather old fashioned about doing those without scripting. So, it will have to be save flower portion with selected mats and transmaps or each color variation. Ugg! In Daz, it's apply materials and one click the transmap.
No transmaps on these yet.

I may need to tone down the bright purple one.

Now if you wanted your render to have a Valentine's Day message you can say it with flowers.

Few more tweaks and should be ready for testing on the Daz Set then to the Poser set. I may only offer two transmaps because there is no easy way of doing it in Poser so I have to save out all the materials for each color instead of just applying the transmap. Thanks Miss B.

Thanks Phdrubrov!

Leaves and Stem Options. The interesting thing about this model is that there are several different variations and some only have the inner leaves present. So, how do you guys feel about the one on the end? I can do it solid or I can change the light outer leaves for the dark green inner ones.

Ok, guys here's the thing. I have the Poser set nearly completed, but the way Poser is set up you have to have a complete materials set for each of the different transmaps. In Daz, you can just apply the materials and then just save out the transmap and click apply it once the materials are loaded. So it limits the number of transmaps I can do in poser as I'm sure you don't want a textures folder with say 1000 plus texture maps.
I can possibly offer the Daz transmap material setting as a freebie, and that would give you some variety options.

Hey Guys if you haven't checked the Newsletter Lisa's Botanicals are all on sale for $4.95 with reward points that's a steal and even better savings with the stack discounts.

I will let you know there are some plans for the fairy flower, fairy flower II, Signs of Spring (Daffodils and Crocus), and another set of tulip texture pastels for Easter.

Ok few wips of the Easter set and a very very rough image of the daffodil. I have some that are pretty realistic on the tulips, but will have to wait until I get a better processor to post.
