Amazing Flower - African Daisy Osteospermum ecklonis

Post by Fletch » Thu May 20, 2021 5:49 pm

I don't know what this flower is called, but I think it's amazing. (*edit - African Daisy, Spoon Daisy, Spider White, or Osteospermum ecklonis)
I've never attempted this type of model in SketchUp before. It is completely modeled and textured in SketchUp. :)
It is attempting to be low poly but still look good whether in midground or distance. It will not be great for macro lens.

It still has some work to be done. If it turns out well, we will include it in the components for Pro users here in the red carpet section.

I don't know what that means. I built it, as mentioned above, completely in SketchUp.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to create this flower. :oops: :lol:

Here's how I imagine it could be used in a scene - just a little enhancement in a pot, something like this. :!

Aha! I forgot about Artisan - I used to use it many years ago. :oops: :!

Well, I used SubD in order to subdivide and smooth the quad petals which I just built basically quad by quad... :wall:

Artisan could have helped for sure. :lol: I also used the Smoove tool and the "flip orientation of triangulation" tool both of which are found in the Sandbox toolset. It would have been much faster and easier in Blender, but I wanted to keep this one "all native"... I'm not sure why now. :?

Well, it goes like this I think, What can go wrong? I have a mother board fault needed a new CMOS battery, simple job, really. So having done that and the mounting for the battery having broken, I am, left looking for a new PC. this one is sometimes starting and mostly not. It is from 2009 though. Yes, that ol' what can go wrong ploy, hmmmmmmmm. :wall:
