Happy New Year!


These seeds scanned with actual graph paper background .


Well, I didn't get as much done during the Christmas break as I had hoped.



 It looked like I was going to have 2 weeks off from work but it ended up being only 2 1/2 days off, which is fine since it means I got more $.
Plant id in question, may not be correct.









I had planned to scan lots of seed images and reference them to a background grid during the 2 week lay off but I did get a little bit done. 


My first attempts, many months ago, included using an actual graph paper background; but, I believe the computer generated background will be easier to work with, once I figure out how to do it efficiently.




 
Here are a few of the final products. It is kind of a tedious and time consuming project but I may be able to speed it up after working out some of the kinks.





However, my next class starts next week so I will be spending most of my free time on that for  the next few months.





One thing I need to figure out is how to make the shadow look more realistic when overlaying the seed images onto the grid image.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome.
