no... not worth the 300... ultra worth it... AND you get Voxel modeling.. if you're into sculpting..

well Chris.. these days it's hard to bill a client based on the use he's going to make of your creative stuff... that was the ancient world...
+ sometimes they also derive the original use... how to keep track of all that...?
Tropicana is nice.. hehe.. all fruits are pretty much drawings mixed with photos... PS here.. PS there... they could not find a single orange to represent the branch.. and I mean.. they have the choice... eheh

some photographers do still get high$ to do these shots... but they getting old...

what about trap in can ! ... ahhh.. !

[knurrebusk]

Very nice work indeed, I´m gonna have to try the blueberry/raspberry variants.
If they taste great with vodka/ice I´m a faithful customer

PS:this mix also cures swineflu, and make the world a beautyful place like heaven he he.

[Hervé]

Thanks... he he Indeed, please buy one bottle and let me know how does it taste like... with added vodka..? why not..

[knurrebusk]

I´ll present the final verdict after some intence testing

I´ll present the final verdict after some intence testing

Be sure and sober up before you post the results.

Short report

It´s my old fav "when youngster" drink, with much better label, and back to old standard real % of berries.
I had to return without one, since this was a local shop with the old label.

The drinkmix stuff they have is just not to my taste, but this is cheap with a nice taste.

Weird! I feel the urge to hunt down this work of art (no kidding), but time for some wine.
I´ll post an image of the beautyies in the store he he.

Monday I´ll try again (big chain)(faster new products).

[knurrebusk]

PS; can I borrow your flashlight for my pond?
Gonna try to do the water plants alone, but lightning like Maxwell is not my strongest side.

My test scene has growed a bit, and with a deeper pond I need your flashlight
To be serious it´s gonna end up more professional in time.

Have a half parametric "mass" I want to test out.

[Bubbaloo]

Just put an emitter in a chrome cone.

[knurrebusk]

Noo!

It´s not that easy I seen lot´s of the real stuff, and your flashlight will do it perfectly!
I´m so occupied with ver2 that I used my energy on a new test scene, and not a new villa I finally figured out.

I will search for herve´s materials if he has shared them to solve the waterplant stuff though
You are a master of berries Herve!

[knurrebusk]

This thread is very interesting, since we´re talking of the minute details of raspberries.

They need to be intensified close up to be noticed for their beauty!

I tend to enjoy the transition from +-, and back/forth.
Bipolar is a negative word these days, but I´m ok with it.

If I ever could do this magic with materials nobody would ever finish my wild stuff though
I want interior´s like Herve´s raspberries, and I´m very serious even if a bit down on wine.

It´s all about the perseption of depth, many new exiting materials coming if the economy roll on with a bit of Obama faith.
Dow please keep hanging on for us creative humble spirits

There are two fruits in fact... one slightly bigger (like 5 um / 10 um..)... the biggest one is imported in 3D coat, where I made brushes from drops that I modeled, ... then a disp map and an alpha map based on disp map are created...

Hi Hervé, just some 3DC-detail questions if I may?
You imported the larger berry into the Voxel workspace then you merged previously modeled (mesh)drops with the On-Pen option
and distributed the drops by painting. Right so far? When finished you quadrangulated and started painting:

• the whole berry or just the drips?

From the painted geometry you exported the maps and applied them.

• to the smaller mesh?
• why the two meshes approach - I assume intersection problems?

One or two screenshots were awesome.

thanks, Holger

[Hervé]

I will post some screen shots.. then you will understand all...

[Hervé]

ok, here we go.. the only fruit modeled in Voxel was the raspberry.. all others are model in Modo..

btw, I opened the larger "water" fruit in 3DC directly... and worked from there... in fact same thing for the raspberry.. after voxel modeling and quads, I exported the model to lwo.. then opened it in Modo.. and reopened it in 3Dcoat.. for the raspberry, I remember I had to use a different technique... it was back to 1.7.. so I rendered the drops on a non sss fruit.. and then comp them on the sss render... hehe..
(you can see release candidate.. because I did these screen shots for the company a while back..)

[Polyxo]

Thanks a lot for these Hervé!
Yes making the raspberry should be great with Voxels and radial symmetry! How cool that one can forget about every topological constraints, no?

So for the drops you created a slightly scaled up HiRes copy of the mesh in Modo already, imported for Microvertex-Painting to 3DC and used your
custom drop-brushes made from 3D-objects on it?

cheers, Holger
