I did try to straighten them with a bit of kettle steam but one fell off so I left well alone.<br />The video needs more work but is okayish. It does have some crinkles round the bevel on the letter and I had to use a re-mesh modifier to stop spiky bits. Got rid of all but one. it would make a good video title but EEVEE is still a pain to render with particles and and curves. It will work using Viewport render but the results are only middling. Don't know what I clicked to get this to render as I was getting well choked off. I blamed the dogs but they were innocent.Adrian Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061432566298145837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-28392739317174918942019-07-29T20:39:16.205+01:002019-07-29T20:39:16.205+01:00Fine shot!Fine shot!Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-53746046775269573192019-07-29T20:17:55.538+01:002019-07-29T20:17:55.538+01:00Not seen one with that long an ovipositor.
