Palm Tree and Crane

This is actually the second palm tree I made but I destroyed the original during the creation of this one by mistake I simply extruded and twisted a cube until I got a nice trunk shape stuck a texture on it and used automatic mapping, then made one leave textured it and duplicated it a dozen times.







The karakuri crane I made probably took about as long as my entire piece, and in the actual composition it is barely visible, I found that I really enjoyed working with cogs and mechanical things, the crane would function if it where real all of the cogs are aligned and when the handle turns the crane would turn aswell, this I made using the knowledge from the mechanical pieces along with my imagination.
