Create Photorealistic Foods in Blender: Macaron time! #tutorial

Today I want to show how to make photorealistic macrons in Blender using non-photoscanned techniques. While there are some manual steps in creating
the holes and crevices, we’ve made use of procedural methods as much as possible.
This is my first tutorial, so I'd love to hear feedback.
Here is a sample model which I used for the tutorial. Only one side has the bubbles punched out but that's more than enough to get good renders.

Thank you for the elaborate Tutorial! To eliminate the manual work I made a collection of different sized hole punchers and used thad collection to create hair particles on the feet. Then I also randomized the hair sizes. After making the particle instances real and put them into a collection I used that collection with the boolean modifier.

A question. Whet it comes to the crunchy holes, would it not be possible to just use a torus with the same displacement and use that for our boolean?

@CanosieLabs 2 жыл бұрын

haha, great minds think alike! It does seem like you can do that. I tried that to see if it would be a faster way of creating those holes but unfortunately, it just didn't work out.

@ranska_x9965 Жыл бұрын

Bravo c'est très jolie! I think some manual parts (like boolean) can be automated with geometry nodes and can help you to create groups that have divers imperfections.

@CanosieLabs Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think you can as well. You can scatter random shapes across the surface of the feet. Another option is use the volume cube node, but I have not yet gotten good results yet.

What were your light settings, mine macaroon is coming along alright but the light is throwing off the photorealism

@CanosieLabs 2 жыл бұрын

hi, I used point lights, usually two. One above and to the side and another one to the side but only slightly above the z-axis of the macaroon (to provide some shadows). They both have 10w but the overhead light has a large radius, around .35m. I moved them around till I found something I liked. Hope that helps...

@Evri500 Жыл бұрын

Instead of booleans I would sculpt some holes by hand.

@CanosieLabs Жыл бұрын

I tried that, it takes too long doing it by sculpting. It doesn't look right because the holes are not depressions but rather air pockets. You can't get that effect by sculpting easily because you have to create a overhang for each hole. Using the gives you this effect automatically.

On the cap part, black lines appear just along the perimeter of the outer marked seam in render view. Im guessing there's a problem with the direction of the normals but i just cant find a solution.

@CanosieLabs 3 жыл бұрын

hmm interesting. I've never seen that before, I just tested it out with a new file as well. When you uv unwrap, do you see a image similar to 4:10. There needs to be 3 distinct islands. You can check the direction of the normal faces in bender see if they are all blue (ie facing outward).

how do you manage the camera in a small object? it cuts off whats in front of it

@CanosieLabs 2 жыл бұрын

hi, that's a great question. There's two things you can do. First you can change the "clip start" in the view menu (press n). and change the value to something really small. Sometimes that's not enough and you can change the focal length to something like 100+mm. That will 'zoom' you in without clipping.

How do I import Feet and Filling material? unlike the shell material, The feet material is in .blend file, I had no Idea how to import it.

@CanosieLabs 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, the shell material are basically 4k maps. The feet and shell materials are made within Blender so there is nothing to import. When you open the file, you should see the two materials you can simply import into your own Blend file. I just noticed the .blend file provided was corrupted so I've uploaded a fixed one.

How do you load the shell, feet, and filling? Once it’s downloaded? It was completely skipped.

@CanosieLabs Жыл бұрын

Hi, The materials are provided as a download so you don't have to create the material shader setup yourself. You can see around 3:44 in the video where I assign those materials to the macaron model. You have to create the macaron yourself though, since I didn't put that into the file.

How do I change the colour of the macarons? Pls help

@CanosieLabs 2 жыл бұрын

You have to change the base color of both the shell and feet. The shell is a color map so you need to create your own map if you want your own color. The link on the description goes to my blog where I provide some additional shell colors.
