Ice cream cake

[Lucas3d]

Greetings everybody !

I would like to show you something I've been doing for the last 3 days. It is a ice cream cake. It was really hard ... I was constantly hungry and it was a torture ...
I took the idea from a picture I've found on the internet and added a couple of details from me.
Everything was modeled from scratch, every dust particle, coconut particles and cocoa flakes were modeled and placed by hand (partially using mesh painter). 
So here it is, let me know your thoughts.

nice shaders you got here :)

I can imagine the pain as far as i like sweets too :) Such a flawless and tasty piece! Huge respect, at first sight i thought it's Bertrand Benoit ;)

Looks delicious. :)
Maybe the chocolate coating on the top edge looks a bit too matte and the bump map on the dish below the bowl looks a bit wrong. But that's all. I love the lighting.

Good job!! Well done

[Silverwing]

Wow this is looking incredible!
Very very well done.

I really like all the details and the great textures.
Keep it up!

Cheers

Looks fantastic! :) The only thing I reacted on is the bottom of the metal box to the left, what is the white stuff?

mmmm chocolate! Lovely work, nice shaders and texturing. I agree with Maru the bump map on the placemat is abit too strong or needs to be higher res, other than that really nice :)

daniel266 : Thank you ! :D

maru : Thank you ! :) It should look like cast iron plate.

Thank you belly

Thank you Silverwing

Hey Lucas you are rocking these days so much, this picture look so delicious, I had to eat some sweets recently because of this. I love the picture, what color mapping did you use? Highlight clamp vs contrast only? I love the picture, my only critics would be huge cakes walls - I think those look too sharp - like plaster - I think it would be better if they looked a bit more soft (maybe by sss?). Otherwise this is incredible in terms of details, lighting and color!

[Lucas3d]

yeah me too :D
it is used for baking I think and after a while the bottom gets mate polish ... that is how I saw it.

[Lucas3d]

Got motivated really bad ... had to do something about it :)
Hehe this is one of the hazards of working with 3d food I gues :D I just use the default settings.
Imagine the ice as very hard frozen... I had no idea how to use SSS ... I will try it next time.
Thanks Jakub ! :)
