Lotus leaf

The previous lotus leaves looked very flat when in motion. Here is a new version where I've broken out the individual brush strokes and arranged them together. The resulting leaf looks much more shapely when in motion and still maintains a painterly appearance whenever you pause the animation.

I also added a displacement map to give it even more texture. Though some of the effects were not expected, I think it gives the leaf an even more organic quality.
Accidentalism in 3D :)
