At first I wanted to make a comb, but then it became
a small scene. Imagine a corner in a modest house in a
West African country (see flag).
I started with a cube for the body of
the comb and with a plane for the head that I later bent
at the periphery to the background after having deepened
eyes, nose and mouth.
The body of the great watermelon
of SSIMPOSSIBLE released under CC zero license at
http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/15886 inspired me
in building my own.
Three textures were made by using Gimp. Four are own
photographs treated also with Gimp. The texture of the melon is
procedural only.
There are 23468 faces. About 44 min is the rendering time on
an older i7 CPU for a 900x1200 picture with 500 samples.
Comments appreciated.
Very nice. I like the details in the comb.
