TOOLS USED: Carrara, 3D Canvas, XFrog, Satori Paint
RENDER TIME: 8 mins
IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Gum leaves falling into a rusty water tank where a new flower grows and rots at the same time.  I don't know what it is but it grows in my back garden, and half the leaves are dead.  Title comes from someone's typo in an XFrog forum this week.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:  Got Carrara off a magazine cover last week and discovered I could do a corrugated iron water tank with a formula.  Broke it up in 3D canvas and tried to rust it with Carrara's shader using the a slope for where the rust should be.  

Leaves scattered over a fractal plane in 3D Canvas.  More rotation needed but can't redo.  Some of them are supposed to be under water.  Textures are from my own photos and scans.  Wanted a more interesting sky, but the Carrara clouds are rendering in front of the plants and I have to stop...
