299 polies, one 256x256 texture. Texture.

I'm still fiddling with the placement of the flowers and stems to cover as much as possible, but that's the basic thing.

Can we comment on the texture? Because I think some more contrast on those flowers would do the trick. Apart from that, marvellous

Very pretty

I think the original flowers look like pink orchids, having the dark central region with the very pale outside would look more exotic. You could add a couple of yellow/orange stamen to the middle of the flowers with two crossed planes. That'd probably look nice.

The soil, pot and the leaves are all great.

hmm.. I'm going to have to agree on that touch of lower contrast.
Looks awesome, though - great job!

Ajare those flowers are absolutely beautiful! I agree with the comments about making them more orchid like - it'll be nice to see a little more colour introduced into the bloom. I think its outstanding though because it just looks so much better over the original - no comparison mate - so have a hearty HDTP slap on the back

Ok, it seems pretty unanimous as to the changes. I'll get on it after work.

metche: sorry my fault - edited as discussed in PM.

Great flowers, I also like the texture even though it's a little different.

Have you tried to keep the dark line on the lower edge of the pot as in the original? IMHO it would be better. Anyway,very good work

Ok, latest revision.

The texture looks a bit washed out because there's no lighting on it. For some reason DX lights this sort of thing better than Max.

Added the lower rim on the pot, and changed the flower a bit. I'm having difficulty getting more contrast in without it looking unnatural. I'm beginning to love the dodge, burn and smudge tools, now that I know how to use them properly.

I was comment on the first one, seeing as it looked like a weapon, but it looks great now!

Well done, I think it looks great. Keep the good ones coming

i would add a little more black to the middle of the flowers, but besides that, good work!
