[RESOLVED] Food, crumbs, air pockets

[cjwidd]

I am modeling a macaron (see attached reference 'my perfect macaron') and looking for advice about how to model crumbs and air pockets in a surface (see attached 'peter roe closeup'). I am posting in the Corona forum - rather than a modeling forum - because I suspect this is best achieved procedurally through shaders. This forum has a high concentration of actual industry professionals, so if you have any experience modeling / shading this type of asset, I would be very eager to learn.

I understand photogrammetry would be an alternative method to model this type of asset.

The BlurBeta plugins pack available on maxplugins.de brings a Watercell texture map which looks quite much like this. Compatible with Corona, make sure to read the instructions on how to install.

Blurbeta seems like a bit of a hassle to install, but the default cellular map in Max works very well, so thanks for your suggestion!

EDIT: Peter Roe confirmed a cellular map was used in attached reference
