DESIGN NAME: 3D Cakes
PRIMARY FUNCTION: CGI Food
INSPIRATION: He is a skilled 3D designer passionate about creating realistic food models that appeal to the senses. While proficient in various food types, designing 3D cakes posed a unique challenge. Drawing inspiration from photographs and real cakes, he refined his technique through numerous trials, mastering intricate details to create a stunning, realistic cake that captures its real-world essence and serves as an enticing representation of delicious desserts.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: One of the biggest challenges in 3D modeling is recreating food, with cakes being particularly difficult due to their intricate textures and delicate surfaces. This project originated from a client commission aimed at crafting a compelling image that would stand out in a competitive market. Such 3D visuals serve as the centerpiece for product packaging, adding an eye-catching touch to the design that attracts attention and enhances consumer appeal, making them vital in marketing strategies.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Visual appeal is essential for a product's success in today's competitive market. 3D design offers precise control over details that A.I. cannot match. Unlike traditional photoshoots, where chocolate icing may melt and ruin the presentation, 3D software guarantees flawless representation without real-world constraints. A well-crafted packaging image captures attention and shapes consumer perception, influencing buying decisions.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in August 2024 and finished in September 2024.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: He used Blender for organic modeling and paired Cinema 4D with Redshift to create stunning 3D cake images. Every texture was crafted from scratch using procedural techniques, resulting in a unique and authentic look that captures the essence of real cakes. Final adjustments to color, contrast, and brightness were made in Photoshop, enhancing the overall appeal. This approach showcases his true skill and artistry in every detail.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 3600 pixels x 3600 pixels

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: For this project, he used the physical product as a reference and a magnifying glass for analysis, allowing him to translate intricate features into 3D software with procedural textures. Crafted from mathematical calculations, these textures create smooth or rough, opaque or translucent surfaces. This process enhances realism and allows experimentation, ensuring each detail contributes to the overall aesthetic. The result is a captivating 3D representation that showcases his vision.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge of this project was capturing the intricacies of the torn cake batter and crumbs. Achieving depth, lightness, texture, and mouthwatering appeal is difficult, and creating a hyper-realistic cake requires skill. Many hours were spent fine-tuning the texture’s displacement parameters. Close-up camera positioning was crucial for capturing subtle details and highlighting the cake’s delicious features, elevating the final render's quality.
