Description
As Im into small creatures for the moment, I wanted to do a butterfly. The body was point modeled and hair dep.. used to add fur. The wings are alpha planes with real wings (a cheat from my part =). The flower I made from my own mind, not finding the correct referene I wanted, so it look's a bit arificial. All parts painted with Bodypaint (except the wings ofcours).The lighting is HDRI based using probes from devebec.
Thank you for viewing!
