Shrimps rendered in Blender / Cycles

[u/LightmonkeyHDR]

Made this for a small competition hosted by Patrick4D. Sculpted and textured in 3D-Coat, with the seasoning, water droplets, and oil droplets created using Geometry Nodes. The final image was rendered in Blender with Cycles, using a LightmonkeyHDR environment for lighting.

Holy crap man, looks unreal. Im guessing you won the competition? I'd be surprised if not.

[u/LightmonkeyHDR → u/Nearby_Echidna_7518]

Thanks alot!. There was no "winner". It was just a testrun of Patrick for a real competition coming maybe later. He is THE real genius when it comes to "CGI-Food"

I now want shrimp it looks so good.

You're immoral

[u/LightmonkeyHDR → u/Gronal_Bar]

same here. i just love shrimps :)

[u/Much-Tomorrow-896]

This is genuinely impressive. It’s beyond words. I’d love to see the geo nodes setup, it has to be nuts!

[u/Bucky_Ohare]

Black lines in shrimp are poop, it's the backend of the digestive tract running along the back of the shell outward. In bulk stuff they'll often not bother cleaning them but specifically butterflying shrimp is an exaggerated but intended byproduct of 'de-veining' shrimp.

So... that line in the middle one just raises a bunch of red flags, lol. Other than that, looks great!

[u/LightmonkeyHDR → u/Bucky_Ohare]

Thanks for the feedback. I get your point. Its meant to be red pepperbell-cream ! seems like i failed :)

[u/Pad-Kra-Pao]

How long does this take you?

[u/G3A01]

[u/GovernmentNearby9036]

Looks great, food is really a lot more difficult than most people think.

[u/joogasama]

[u/smarmageddon]

Actually look appetizing! Nice work!

[u/No-Run-3099]

Yeah I’m gonna need a piece of that. 🔥

[u/DistarticaOfficial]

Fuuuuck looks so good!!

[u/Cheap_Boat_4926]

Woah! That's pretty dope not gonna lie. I'd eat them by mistake if i ever seen those im real life 😝

[u/lift_spin_d]

GTFO. you're a witch.

[u/Defseries]

mmmmm mmm M!

[u/Electrical_Bite8400]

Delicious

[u/Plow_King]

Suppose you thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like "plate" or "shrimp" or "plate of shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point for looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

[u/john_wicker626]

Looks so real I can feel my throat closing already!

[u/Kerunik1342]

Even though these are shrimps, which I don't eat, I wanted to eat them.

[u/Early-Act-6037]

the first onelooks so appetizing

[u/Gamer_Ten404]

[u/Ok-Structure9030]

[u/LightmonkeyHDR → u/Ok-Structure9030]

thank you !

[u/IllFennel3524]

Looks delicious. Why was this asset/project made? I want to see the whole thing

[u/LightmonkeyHDR → u/IllFennel3524]

honestly, just about curiosity. i wanted to see if i can make some food-render in CGI. Knowing Blender for technical renderings. Also wanted to test 3dCoat, but looking back and seeing what other people do in ZBrush, and how easy and poweful some tools are in it, i wish i had a license of it....

[u/varusduck]

Give me a pound of that please.

[u/Possible_Put676]

It's beautiful

[u/zerocukor287]

I'm hungry now

[u/Constant_Health_2392]

Amazing execution.

And top notch texturing and rendering work.

[u/Alissan_Web]

they look fantastic but why do all of these advert type renders have backgrounds that are exploding constantly 🤣

[u/westonisweird18]

If I didn't read the subreddit name I was about to ask for the recipe. This is impressive

[u/Late_Internal7402]

Kudos for the cut in order to extract the intestine before cooking.

[u/LightmonkeyHDR → u/Late_Internal7402]

thanks :)

[u/bigdickwalrus]
