The "More kitchen stuff" thread

[Gary David Bouton]

I've been doing food and kitchen stuff for the past few years.

As a matter of fact, I've been modeling this stuff for as long as I've been on the Zone Diet.

BTW, the gelatin mold required 24 splines of alternating heights to skin. Rendered in trueSpace 3.

My Best,

This was modeled in Extreme 3D for the Macintosh about four years ago, and rendered in PIXAR Showplace. I thought the rendering engine did some interesting stuff, such as softening the look. Most of the textures, bumps, and displacement maps were painted in Photoshop.

Gary,

The green jello is very very good. I'm personally not into the artsy spoons & stuff floating, but the base elements and rendereing are fabulous. -David

PS I'vew finialy gotten around to adding a collabartion cook book from various chef's and family members and friends. Anyone care to contribute? -David

Hi, David--

I'm not into floating stuff in a realistic scene, either. However, Ron Pfister had just shown me how to create a spoon, I could not do it in my default modeling program, and it seemed a shame to not show it off in the image. The spoon(s) got lost when on the table.

I should do an image with just the Jello, shouldn't I?

Gary,

Now that is 1 ugly Croissant!! -David

[Gary David Bouton]

Yeah. I guess a wood texture doesn't do it, eh?

I'll have to work on this piece, 'cause I spent a lot of time on the geometry of each piece, but it's not coming together with textures and lighting. And composition.

Okay. It sucks.

Gary,

I'm by no means a post editing guru, but I would guess you could help that 1 out with some soften and blur. Ther's a Dr Franklin addin to pshop the makes things look like canvas art. I'm sure the models were a pain.

I rec'd the vue package today & I hope to spend some time with it later this week. -David

Ah, well...

Here's something I did in Showplace for Macintosh a few years ago.

No particular reason, except the shapes were a challenge.


My Best,
Gare
