I'll make the leaves bigger then, but about the bump, can I do that with basic textures (included in maya) as I do not want to use external sources (pictures as textures and such)?The leaves should be a lot bigger, unless you're creating an intentional visual effect where the flower is massive. Try also adding some color variation or subtle bump on the petals.
I did try to add a bumpmap to give it a velvety look, but then was disappointed that it didn't end up quite like I was expecting and instead was stretched over the petals wrongly. Is there a way to make it look correct over them without having to UV map it to each and every petal? X_X
