Well, this may be more of a plant than a flower. But hey, at least it's botanic! :) Anyway, this is the story:

I started modeling the flower that grows on the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), with the flytrap and worm beneath it. The flower part of the plant did however turn up to small in the final setup (because of the "realistic" distance between blades and flower). And that's why I had to discard the blooming part and put all my work on the interesting part - the actual trap - instead.

View it in HI-res; most part of the work was done with the texturing part. (2 years and 71 days ago)

Venus, Flytrap

What you've got there to start looks great but if you are aiming for anatomical accuracy you've missed the trigger hairs! Reply »

Thanks trum for pointing that out!
Your botanical knowledge is probably better than mine. I was actually thinking about that when I started this project. I couldn't find the hair visible on many of the plants when I did my research. Maybe some variations of the plant triggers with the wart like surface? I'm curious if someone knows. Anyway, to save my CPU, this one was modeled to simulate the non visible photo version. Reply »
