A FULLY DIGITAL COMPUTER GENERATED RASPBERRY PILE
A study into photorealistic organic shading in CGI, this is a completely digitally generated scene mimicing real world photographic tecniques.
Computer generating fruit, its particularly challenging as the way they interact with light is a huge challenge in 3d software.

The digital wireframe shows the extent to which no photography was used.

The digital pile of raspberries were simulated falling into a pile so that the predictable hand placed look was avoided entirely. Each blueberry and raspberry were given the correct physical properties to collide together to form a natural pile and lend itself towards the photographic aesthetic.
