Very lovely. My parents used to collect mounted butterflys so I grew up with them hanging around the house.

It's fabulous! I love it! No wonder it is featured!

I have a request, though. Could you make a similar frame as a sculpture? I'd love to have one I could put on tables or leaning against the wall on the floor.

I know nothing about meshing, so if that cannot be done, or if it is too complicated, feel free to ignore my suggestion.

Again, thanks a million! :D

Wow! I've been considering asking someone to make a similar mesh to this but thought it might be too hard to explain. Are you able to do the same thing but with babies feet (mould) instead of butterflies??? I have moulds of all my kids hands and feet and would love to have one in game :D

PS: I went to the mesh tutorial page and..well...pffffft..I take my hat off to all mesh creators!!

I like your downloads. They're really something else. And I'm not a mesher, but I much appreciate the minimalistic mesh .. very elegant =).

Thank you for your feedback and thanks everyone.

I was going to covert it to a tabletop and floor sculture for you but I tried it out and it looked a bit rubbish so I'm not going to any more, sorry. Perhaps leaning against a wall might be better but at the moment I have some other things that I'm working on.

I could change the plane that the butterflies sit on for a flat one and then you could do the texture yourself. you could achieve a flat cut-out foot shape with a texture on in this way.
To make a truly 3d foot shape would require rather more meshing than I am prepared to undertake.
Go and have nice a cup of tea.
It will make everything better.

Thanks for trying! No biggie, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. :D
Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!

Thanks for replying to my post monkey, i don't know the first thing about textures either LOL I know..i'm hopeless. If someone actually sat down next to me and SHOWED me what to do then i'm not so hopeless, but following online instructions AAARGH!!
Thanks anyway

I love butterflies! On my wall chart next to me, it seem like the first one to the right is a Heliconius melpomene... But I might be wrong. :p

Ok I'll give it a go! I just made the table from the mesh instruction, but after all those instructions i forgot what to do already LOL So if you get the chance to send me the shape i'll follow a tutorial on texturing.

Wow, just wow. Could you do more of these, please? It would be wonderful if we could make a museum with all these! Hmm. Maybe you could do mounted spiders, too?

at the moment I'm working on some museum display cases with neolithic stone tools in. but I'm not 100% decided on what the cases should contain so I might do them as a set with different things in. It all depends on how much time I have.
Go and have nice a cup of tea.
It will make everything better.
