Inspired by an image in Maxwell's latest newsletter. I think it was done by a guy called "Herve" who's done some great food renders in the past. Anyway, here's my Indigo take on it. This is from 1.1.5. The crust uses displacement. I struggled a lot with this because of RAM usage (the computer I did this on has only 512mb of RAM).

damn I'm hungry. Great render!

Cheers master. If I find the time, I'll work a bit more on this. Right now the mesh is a complete mess and the strawberries aren't properly modelled/displaced. I want to make it a bit cleaner and maybe try other recipes (lemon tart with meringue, perhaps...)

Awww man, I wanna eat those!

Cheers mate. Trying to do a properly displaced strawberry with a map built from a flat 3D model. This one has Indigo displacement and SSS. I'll post the mat when I'm happy with it, not that I can think of many uses for it...

Awesome.
Though to do truly realistic strawberries, you would have to use SSS, and then model the hairs on them

There's SSS here. I'm rendering another version where it's a bit more obvious. But the strawberry remains hairless.

I didn't dare try Displacement or even SSS on my machine before. You really make me think about it.

Thanks for the inspiration

Damn, I agree.
In both points.

Really nice!

Now the lemon tart...

green lemon ?

You know, I believe there should be some grainyness due to the sugar, it's too soft of a surface imo; and, the crust would be more realistic if, on its exterior, it was planar with grooves, no "bumps" because of the mould. Yeah, details

In addition, I think the lemon mat should have a healthy dose of SSS/transparency.

Thanks guys.

The lemon custard has plenty of SSS. Indeed, so does the crust! Perhaps the lighting is not the best. The points about the bump on the crust is a good one. I wonder how to go about this though... Perhaps assigning a different mat to the top, but will displacement then tear the mesh apart?

The same shader with complex textures would work better certainly, though I was believing you used bump mapping only, due to the straight profile of the crust.

the crust would be more realistic if, on its exterior, it was planar with grooves, no "bumps" because of the mould

and shiny as well, since one puts fat on moulds

even trickier

No, I have no hint apart what you know already (exponents maps and so on). Maybe create various textures from n shaders and composite them (the textures) together ? Like one with some shinyness and grooves only for the exterior, and the actual one for the non-moulded parts ? That's may not be the best solution though, i'm too much of a theo-rethorical guy
