We can then export a mid-resolution version of our cookie to Maya, still containing most of the major silhouette.Īt this point we can also sculpt some bubbles in our milk. Micro-details can be added through displacements/bump maps when we shade. At this point we are focusing on basic shapes and some smaller cracks, choco chips etc. Using basic sculpt brushes, mainly move, clay and damian standard we can get a decent look. For this composition we can just create one cookie, and then duplicate and rotate the cookie several times, to set dress, so we can be efficient and focus on making that one cookie look realistic. Next we'll export the cookies to ZBrush so we can sculpt those nice organic details. Once we have a general idea for our composition, we can then create the camera and set dress our elements accordingly. While modeling, it's important to get the ratios, proportions and composition right. Modeling should be pretty straight forward using subdivs. We start by blocking out the scene in Maya using basic shapes. Take photographs all around the cookie so we can also use it as a sculpting and texturing reference later on. Let's take the cookie available with us and create a cheap setup for photography (Yes, it could be a cookie on a toothpick on a Toblerone) or a tripod. We can start by creating a pinterest board of various cookies and milk photography, thinking about various composition and elements we like and dislike. There are some interesting parts when we get to create some cookie crumbs and milk bubbles. Recipe is very simple, and involves modelling, lighting, shading and rendering. So here it is, a recipe to create some cookies and milk. Decision making can be a hard process, and for me it was 10 months of procrastination until one late night I realize that I have been eating too many cookies while working. I would go on Pinterest and drool upon plethora of amazing food photography that it has to offer. I had been planning to do a realistic CG food project for a while. The project started with my interest in food photography.
