Final render

Here is the finished composition. I tried and re-tried different arrangements finally deciding on a linear, evolutionary one. I tried to capture a windswept vigor, as if to show my forms being lifted away like flowers in a breeze. The mood has a twilight ambience not dissimilar to my previous renders, which I believe is a nice continuation of my narrative.

Final Photos

I had to pick two photos as my finals because they both have great qualities.

The above image shows my model in greater detail. The colours are successful, so too is its integrity as a 3d printed model because the layers are visible, and they add a nice detail.

In this image my model becomes part of the background. It looks like part of the tree, part of the flower. Its position is successful in that it sits along a nice diagonal. Transluscent green tones in my model are obvious more so than in the top image, and seem to pop.

Photos: 3rd and 4th choices

These were my third and fourth choices due to light and focus imperfections. They are still effective however and display my model nicely in a relevant environment.

Another test render

Sprouting from the same point in the middle - blooming.

Render tests

A couple of test renders. The above shot really highlights the petals of my flower. Omni-lights have been used. Below I have used directional spotlights instead. It is hard deciding on a final layout.

Test renders 3 models

 Setting up some planes, I want to retain the same moody ambience of my previous renders.

The materials I have applied strengthen their resemblance to flowers, they seem to have a stem and petals. This colour contrast accentuates the patterns that have formed them.

I am trying to achieve a twilight glow, virescent in keeping with my theme.

Development

Precedents from which I drew inspiration for my final form. There is a pattern in the petals, as they layer and peel off. The top image is a lovely example of floral patterning. Below is my interpretation.

From another angle, layering is more obvious. A quick test render below with other materials.
