Hi folks,
this is a project I finished recently. Basemesh was built in Maya. UVs were done in headus UV Layout. Then I sculpted the mesh in ZBrush, textured in Photoshop und Bodypaint, rendered in Maya with Maxwell Render (using ZBrush-Displacementmap and HDRI as single light source), final postwork in Adobe Photoshop. The whole thing was just a fun project - a workflow test between the applications involved.
Hope you like it,
Marco

Simply amazing! I'd like to see the raw output as well.

Thanks a lot!
Here is the Maxwell raw output (just resized and text added):
In Photoshop I basically used some curves and a bit color correction for the final image posted here initially.

Thank you very much for your kind words
My wife just asked me - after she saw me fiddling about those bananas for hours and days - why I don´t just simply take a photo of some real bananas. And I replied: "Where´s the fun then?!"
I guess some portion of SSS would have been even better but somewhere came a point where I just had to call this work finished
thanks again,
Marco

Looks very good!
My wife asks me that all the time.
"Just take a picture".

That's 3D ?! nooo.. can't be. Because it looks like a photo

if this is 3D then you have done a outstanding job.

Stunning, also love the bokeh and photometric noise.

Thank you. I must admit, though, that the background is actually an out-of-focus photo I made for this purpose. So it´s a real bokeh and not Maxwell´s... I just textured a simple polygon plane with this photo and used it as background for the scene. But the bananas, the plate and the table (or whatever it might be) are CG.
