Work in Progress - on the left is the render preview, in the middle is the reference image created by me, using Midjourney, and on the right is the 3D model blockout in object preview. I'm very happy with the progress so far.
Sketchfab model preview of the sculpt blockout, and flat base color previsualization.
Render preview with basic lighting set up. The focus is on matching the source image in lighting and silhouette especially.
Sculpt in ZBrush. I sculpted it first in Blender, then imported to ZBrush to unify the shapes and polish the sculpted details, as well as prepared the model for decimation preview.
WORK IN PROGRESS
As my final portfolio project at Full Sail, I have decided to create a Food focused hero Prop and supporting scene, in a semi-realistic stylized PBR with hand-authored texture detail. As part of this process, I will be producing a tutorial series and a collection of marketable products, which will further promote my work as an emerging artist and enable real networking and passive income opportunities.
The inspiration for this work is “AI Slop: Food Porn” on Pinterest. I came across this ‘genre’ by accident, but I quickly became enamored by the styles and the sheer volume of the images. They are marvelous, and beautiful, and in stunning colors. I became excited at the idea of translating them into 3D – then the added dimension of depth and animation.
This is Week 1 - the sculpting and previsualization phase. I created the source image concept using Midjourney, based on lots of references of AI-generated food illustrations in this style. After some trial and error, I was able to achieve the exact look I wanted with guided prompts. It was the first time I used AI in this way. Midjourney is incredibly powerful for creating concept art and quickly iterating on style ideas.
The scene is created in Blender, with sculpt refinements in ZBrush.
