This document describes the steps taken to model a flower in 3D modeling software: 1) A plane was edited into 6 sections and points pulled out to form the base petal shape. 2) HyperNURBS was added to give the petal a realistic look and sides bent inward. 3) The petal was cloned and arranged in a spiral to form the flower center. Additional petal layers were added and scaled smaller. 4) A sphere was used and flattened to form the flower center. Colors were added and a stem was made using a B-spline. Leaves were also added using resized petals.

1. Modelling- Flower

2. This is the very first thing I did in order to create my flower, I simply started off
with a plane which I changed the width to 250cm and the segments to 2 and
3. This then gave me the plane spilt into 6 different squares. Once I'd made it
editable I then chose the point icon which allows you to pull out the points you
choose. I chose the top two points which I then dragged into the Y axis, I then did
the same to the bottom but not so it was on a point.

3. Once I then added a hyperNURBS it then gave more of a realistic look, I
could then select the side tool which allows you to change any side to
suite you. I chose the lines running straight down the middle of the
petal and bended them inwards which gave an indent to make the
petal look like it has a structure.

4. I then cloned the petal 9 times and added a spiral on top of the plane
within the object manager, this then would put them into a circle
which I could then alternate. I then grouped them together so I could
then duplicate all of the petals. I did this twice and then scaled them
smaller so they would fit inside the base petals. I then added the
middle section, I simply did this with the use of a primitive shape
which was a sphere, I then scaled it to size and made it flatter to give
a realistic look. I then changed the colour of the petals and the
middle section by going through the file and new material sector.

5. Once that was done I could add a stem by using the linear object and
creating a straight line, by then changing it to a B-Spline this then gave
more of a bendy look. Once I had added a sphere and dropped it on top
of the lathe I had created along with the B-Spline it then gave me a
cylinder which I could then scale to size. I then used one of the petals
to use as a leaf but by rescaling it so it looks more like a leaf and less
like a petal. I lastly added the hyperNURBS to give it a rounded finish.
