Alright so I had some time this morning and made this in anim8or.. Just minor photoshop adjustments.

I wanted to make it look painterly.

Hope you like it!





Here is the scene setup:

Very nice, nearly perfect.

A couple of complaints
1) the cherry seems a little too shiney. It looks like it's made of glass or polished ceramic.
2) there is a perfectly straight, horizontal line at the top of the stem that is quite distracting. Perhaps a little harsh a criticism, but it would look better from a slightly different angle, or if it was broken into 2 polys and bent slightly.

Still, a beautiful piece of work!

Hah, nitpicker! Too critical an eye often mistakes what should be as what shouldn't be. I remember thinking "water doesn't look that way", but then I go out to the lake half a mile away and think, "well gee, so it does".

Looks fine to me. Almost commented about the bump map on the cherry being too strong but looking at photos of cherries it seems about right. Good job, I like the atmosphere.

Jehovahenker:
I love it :D

If you have some time again, could you give us/me the light settings, just curious  ;)

$imon:
Thanks guys!

Dosser; looking at reference images, i actually think its not shiny enough! they really are quite the reflective fruits :| You're right about the stem though, I didn't take too much time modeling, I just wanted to get the basic shapes done and work a bit more on the rendering.

Raxx; I have the same problem usually looking too long at a picture I'm making. I'm glad I didn't get it too wrong haha.

Jehovahenker: Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Giving all the light settings would be a bit much maybe, but I will give you a global insight :P

I have three spotlights lighting up the cherry and the floor around it, with a very soft shadow (at 100%), that are all the lights that cast shadows in the scene. two from one side, one from a different angle.

Three colored spotlights are aiming at the bottom of the wall in the back to get a mood going. Then there is a blue directional light to give some backlight on the cherry's left side. And a directional light for the highlight on the bottom.

I think that was all the lighting :) The floor has a bump and reflects about 80%..

Thanks again! Glad you like it.
