Re: Tea & Scones - Invigorator Ideas

Erik is right... the modeler in both apps really isn't the best choice to make organic shape, though bump maps can help to a degree. If you want to try without spending lots of cash, there are some open source modelers out there. Otherwise, search the various model banks on the web. Be aware that Invig and ProAnimator support UV-style mapping only. That's a critical point if you're going to apply surface maps to the imported objects.

Your solution for creating the cup sounds on the money - custom edges can help you create some amazing non-organic shapes.
