Did this Lotus yesterday. This is the flower the robots are meant to be "born" out of. Didn't take me long to model but I had to figure out how to make it animate right. Ended up assigning 3 different curves, one with each set of leaves, and adding an Open/Close attribute with a Set Driven Key. Worked great and I am very happy with how it animates. I know it's not true to a real Lotus flower, but it was never supposed to since it is mechanical.
The ambient occlusion pass took about 6 hours to render, so today have been a total waste. I hope I will have at least one more model finished today. But first I am heading for a shower lol...
