Hello, I'm modeling wrist watch and I'm stuck on the strap and stitches. Brown is mine. Black is effect I want to achieve. This leather I've got is the best I could possibly find in stock photos (premium stock photos) - I've made a normal map (not using displacement) and I needed to clean it up. And about the stitches - I've used Reeper 2.0 to make the small ropes, but still - the black one looks like a bit randomized and different. So my questions are: How to get this super high quality texture effect and how to get much more realistic stitches...? Thanks in advance!

Oh yes, I will try VDB for sure! I tried Houdini a bit and I know how powerful it is. And I know that modeling chocolate might be easy - but what about texturing the sides? Or how to make displacement to seamlessly blend into the hard surface like on this example and then texture it also seamlessly?

Hi everyone. I couldn't find this kind of topic anywhere in the web so I want to start one and maybe you will be able to help me out. I want to continue my pursue on modeling cakes, chocolates, ice creams etc. And my actual guru on this topic is Andre Caputo. I've asked him about his works - but he is not very talkative about this (I know it's his professional work so I do understand him). I would like to create this kind of models. And I know it's made in zBrush - I made several models of chocolate with good results, but maybe there is an easier way to do it - My try is here: Modeled in zBrush and textured in Mudbox - and composing in Cinema 4D. https://pro2-bar-s3-cdn-cf1.myportfolio.com/48351c60041f03709016cd4ad3383959/2ee1279e6846f207c4910853_rw_1920.jpg?h=e924c4a111081ed71f2744b929691890 And I would like to sharpen my skills and get this results: And I know about sculpting rocks to sharpen skills in zBrush, etc. But I don't quite know how to get this sharp and crisp edges when cutting a pie, cutting a chocolate, how to make displacements on sides etc. Maybe you have some tutorials, ideas, documentation how to get this kind of results. https://www.behance.net/gallery/70232747/3D-Illustration-Protein-Cookie-Finland https://www.behance.net/gallery/47626237/3D-of-Chocolate-Bars-Serenata-Greece https://www.behance.net/gallery/47003753/3D-Letters-to-Habibs-Summer-Campaign-Brazil Thanks!

Done some abstract organic creatures lately. Some procedural modeling, some typical modeling, and some displacement maps used. I didn't use materials and textures to keep the same kind of feeling to this creatures. It's just SSS material.
