Completed Stamps

And im done! Here are the final designs for the stamps. They have all turned out so much better than i was expecting them to and I am extremely pleased with them all.

I was debating whether or not i should incude some kind of text on each of the stamps, as a lot of stamps do as indicated in my mood board research. However i felt that they didnt actually need to have any and where fine the way they are. Especially since the stamps i normally use have no text on, so i thought i would do the same!

Anyway. I have really enjoyed using 3D Studio Max. I found it quite difficult to use at first but now i feel so much more confident with it. I will definately be continuing to use this program in the hope that someday i may be able to use these skills for some kind of ideal job for me. :D

Butterfly With Background

And here is my final stamp image. It has turned out a little different than i had originaly planned, but i think it is for the better. I found this great picture of a grassy field which i thought would be perfect for my butterfly model. I stuck one on and then realised that it would look so much more effective if i included several more butterflies in the background all in different positions. I think it has turned out great!

As it can be seen i didnt have much luck finding a better texture to use for the butterfly body. Finding a good texture to use on the Internet is very hard, and I had no idea how to go about creating the texture myself. So in the end i settled for this new one. I think it looks better than the one i used before, but i know it could probably still be better.

Venus Flytrap With Background

Here is the completed Venus Flytrap image. At first i did think that it may be a little too crowded, but i messed around with the it a lot by deleting some models, rearanging and resizing them and i felt that this was actually fine as it was. I am quite pleased with how its turned out.

Also, i added some small hairs to the inside of the Flytrap's mouth. These are quite importamt features of the Venus Flytrap so i thought it would be best to include them, even if they are hard to make out!

I spent ages trying to find a suitable background of a type of swap area but i just couldnt seem to find one that worked. I was starting to consider creating a pot and placing a handful of the models in that. However i eventually found this image. Its an extreme close up of a long blade of grass. I wanted to stick to doing wild Venus Flytraps, so i thought that this background would be the next best thing.
