Artist's Comments
Full view please. This is a 3D rendered animated butterfly. (Not an icon or avatar.) Modeled, rendered, and animated in Lightwave 3D. The still frames from the rendering were processed with Image Ready for simplified presentation on this web page.
My thanks to Shane Dorosh of the Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for his help with the butterfly movement. |

 reports, 1d 12h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.64 That Zen Feeling$chix0r

This animation took about 30 minutes. And since this is the fourth one (although this is named III, it is still the IVth), the total animating effort took about 2 hours. What took most of the time was figuring out how in LW3D to match the keyframe in my layout to the drawings and animations Shane sent me. The original modelling of the butterfly took about an hour.
I still think maybe the front wing sections should bend more on the up and down swings. You know, maybe the back ones too. And the wings almost come straight up while they probably should be . . .
By the way, II was yanked by the DA police due to a misunderstanding. I haven't decided if I will re-post it.
I'm waiting for the seagull...
