Re: Talent 3D Designer
Hi Folks,
My biggest stumbling-block was filling both sides of the paper-thin wings... usually done by sorting distance-wise...
But that didn't work of course in such a case, as it would have meant having inumerable areas of wing to dealwith.
Instead, each of the few colured surfaces of each wing is deduced from the insect's trajectory direction. Finally simple to code...
(A bit like Ray-Tracing techniques). Next time the flowers will be morphed in 3D, not 2D, for added realism..... Steve.
