Tomato Project update4

In this update I changed the direction of the streaks on the knife, added the cucumber and changed the texture on the sliced tomato. Not sure I'm done with the cucumber yet but I'm moving on to the lettuce for now, I've also removed the water droplets until the rest of the scene is finished.

I've added a salad bowl and made some adjustments to the sliced tomato shader. Also added a little more reflection to the water droplets so they would show up better.

Tomato Project update2

I've done some more modeling on the sliced tomato, modeled the cutting board and added a counter top object. Still need to add some tomato juice on knife blade and maybe more water and juice on the board. I still plan on adding a few more vegetables to the board and some kitchen items to the counter. The background is an image dropped in in Photoshop.

I would like to thank some of my Twitter pals for their feedback.

Tomato Project update1

I've added a sliced tomato which is textured with a photo. I haven't decided if I'll go back and do a hand painted version of that yet. Also I found a permanent wood texture for the cutting board I creaded a bump map with scratches and groves for individual planks of the cutting board. Now I'm going to model a few more vegetables and a cutting board object.

The begins of a scene that will be a whole tomato, a sliced tomato on a cutting board sitting atop a kitchen counter. The tomato and knife blade have hand painted textures created and the ground plane uses a stock wood texture. Everything is modeled in 3ds max and rendered with V-ray.
