Rubber chicken sounds like a fun thing to do, is there any type you have in mind?

A dog bowl and toys would also pair nicely with the doghouses.

Looks great, I copy pasted your post in its own thread so the links to the mesh, UV etc will be on one thread for easy reference.

The easiest is to take a look at the doghouse and how I set it up.

The idea is that you make the mesh of the flowers in the program of your preference.

You then unpack the UV so it is easily editable for people who want to paint it with photoshop or any other painting program. With the doghouse I made sure all the parts were upright as much as possible and made sure the texel denisity is the same on all the parts.

Then the base is done, You could do several things to improve it, that depends on what your skill level is.
- You could import and Save them as props in Daz
- You could add some base textures with leaf veins or shaders for people to paint over.
- You could save some base Daz textures
- You could add morphs for the plants to bend or move
- You could even rig the plants to have leaf arms and make the head move. seeing as the ones you showed have faces it would be like having plant people :)

But the most important part is that once you give to UV to others to texture you don't change the mesh anymore or else the textures that others could have made won't fit anymore.

Since a lot of people are only on the forums and not on Discord the easiest way to share the plants if by either making a dropbox or other sharing service link or mailing them to info AT websoul.nl
