Gorgeous Weeds Mariposa Lily (common name)!!!! I am first in line to get this one!!
I do hope the bees are kind and pollinate this beauty. As it is endangered, we can't take the liberties of helping nature along and artificially pollinating it ourselves.
While we get some European bees on our plants, the majority of pollinators are native bees; carpenter bees, yellow-faced and other bumblebees, and over 20 different types of butterfly (birds pollinate, too). Native plants attract native insects-- only 10% of native insect are attracted to non-native plants-- instead you get invasive pests on them. Native birds are attracted to native insects; so going native, rebuilds the circle of life and improves the health of your garden and lessen the needs for pesticides.
If anyone is interested in California native bulbs like the Calochortus, Telos Rare Bulbs is the place to go. Bulb ordering season starts late summer/early fall. An important growing tip for those considering CA native bulbs; no not add any fertilizer-- that's the best way to kill a CA native plant-- they like ordinary soil and no water while the bulb is dominant.
Two of the more amazing Calochortus (both on my wishlist) are calochortus obispoensis and calochortus tiburonensis

each of the foot's digits has 4-6 bones in them along with EZ-Pose coding to make the bends
Gecko don't have eyelids, they have a clear membrane that protects their eyes. Because my model is generic, the eyelid morph is still there-- you'll have to remember not to use it with the gecko characters. I did add in a special 3-stage morph to allow the Gecko to lick one of it's eyes.

Awesome
looking great x
Thanks, everyone... the Base Set and Volume I has moved into QA and I've moved on to Volume II.
What will Volume II have? The Tokay Gecko, the Alligator Lizard, the Black-necked Agama and the...
I still have a ways to go on the texture, but my first wip render is encouraging. I will do the red and yellow versions of the Gila Monster as well.
In creating this lizard, I can't help but want to create a small desert environment similar to what I did with the Kiwi Burrow... who knows, it might happen
Added: Looking at this image again-- my mesh is showing it's versatility; from the gila monster to those earlier lizard images and the gecko

thanks... for those you haven't seen it... I did a second render using a vertical format that I thought would look good for the manual cover...
