about chocolate
Material and form study
Excerpt from wikipedia:
"Chocolate is a usually sweet, brown food preparation of roasted and ground cacao seeds that is made in the form of a liquid, paste, or in a block, or used as a flavoring ingredient in other foods. The earliest evidence of use traces to the Olmecs (Mexico), with evidence of chocolate beverages dating to 1900 BC.[1][2] The majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs.[3] Indeed, the word "chocolate" is derived from the Classical Nahuatl word chocolātl.[4]
Truffles, bars, drops, cocoa powder, chunks, sprinkles, chocolate comes in all sorts of shapes and colors. It is one of the most inspiring materials in both 3d and real world thus, we couldn't help but return to this subject once more.
We re-used our fruit models from "Pig-mentality" project combined with new chocolate models, as well as the splash girl model from "Vodkabody"project. All images were rendered in Cycles and have minor post work, mostly color correction and contrast. Different renderer, different challenge!
Read all about it in Blendernation!
