I really appreciate all of your participation and efford. Actually I can't wait to post my vision and send out my X'Mas gift..but I should keep my word to wait till 20th... So still chance for the others...
Pardon me...

....deleted as requested. Thanks!

Jun, why don't you post it in separate thread to offer a nice reward...

My apology Robert if it offended you in any way, Didn't mean to highjack your thread. I am just trying to show that cutting the rock in half might work, and this ficus is a living and tested proof...since I am not too good in realistic virt.

NOT AT ALL Jun..just expecting a New Year gift as well, who knows I can win...

Marcus, if you offer a nice prize, win or no win..I promise you that I will send my virt in 3-D image...
So, be prepare with your "red-and-cyan (blue)" 3-D glasses...

wow.......there is an offer I cant refuse.........where are the glasses.........................

i have a vision, it is a vision of a virtual 3d bonsai collection and show that needs no water or fertilizer.........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO , save us from the future

i have my glasses on ready

Marcus

For those who don't have the red-cyan 3D glasses, you can get it on-line..very cheap....
It will be another fun...

OK, time is off and here is my vision.
What I demanded on the existing design was the composition, the tree and the rock seemed to be separated, less harmony and unity and didn't look natural. It just simply didn't talk to me....

I prefer the "B" angle as this gives better composition. The "C" angle is also very nice, but I just feel the roots are too strong and too dominant..this is simply a personal preference. Besides, this angle will also need a total restyling on the foliation because the existing foliage is going to the rear side.

On the "B" angle, I improve the composition by adding another rock to the top to create more dynamic so that the tree looks like growing on a cliff; and I will grow the lower branch longer and lower to create the counter balance and give better movement. LOL, I will use a natural slab for the container.



...and you can view this image in 3-D by using the red-cyan 3-D glasses...



Well, you may not like this new design...or maybe never thought about it. But since you have given your best efford for this fun, so I will reward to all who have posted your virts : Marcus, Jun, Sebastian and Rob...

Please send me a PM with your full name, full addrerss with telephone no, so I can send the gift to you. Hope you will like it..



BTW, this pot will hopefully be on sale after new year....

Have an enjoyable holidays...

ooooooh oooh oooh...
you are so generous ...thank you very much santa steven!


i love your pot...

Hi Robert, Hey I just woke up. (You're 13 hours ahead of us).

Thanks for the pot.

How will you attach the new rock?
And how do you do the 3D virt - is there software that creates that?

Rob，the additional rock was really done already with white cement, but the foliation was simulated.

Our company is also selling 3-D Lenticular Software, giving production training and supplying materials. Our software can also turn 2-D flat picture into 3-D. In fact you can also do it with PhotoShop, but the 3D will not look that real...

(BTW, please give me your address..)

Im here!

Just got back from a work...and saw this wonderful news. Many thanks for your kindness and generosity...I'll send you PM. and I am looking in my kids stuff,,,might find a 3D glass there somewhere.


Thanks again Robert!

I thought you were fooling around somewhere in your garden...

Here is one more for your fun if you found your 3D glasses...

BTW....

I didn't see that one coming. The extended rock is a very innovative solution.

This might be nice in 3D.

Me fooling around in my garden....hahaha. need to earn a living you know, and that means working double hard to support my bonsai, because I am not earning from bonsai,,,the excess goes to my family.

..and seeing a wonderful news like this from IBC makes my day.
