Still Life with Honey

[mitviz]

No trade secret, believe me. Just random screwing around in ArionFX till I like the result. And no presets either since no single setting seems to work well for any two images. But a lot of people are asking and so I may publish a screencast of my fumbling in ArionFX, which will likely be very anticlimactic.
PS: This is the raw render below:

almost looks like you have curve adjustments on in the renders or a lut file

Love your works, BBB3. Even just clicking around in ArionFX till the results you like, there is definitely a "look" in your works that people enjoy a lot I would say. A screencast of ArionFX session on the blog would be highly appreciated.

This is fantastic. The flour in the jar looks absolutely perfect.

Hmm. That's straight from the VFB with no post-pro active.

wow! awesome as usual. do you open any class to teach how to do this?

[lukx]

awesome as always. how did you do this thing (don't know how it's called in English

[BBB3]

Hey Lukx, the metal mesh is displacement + opacity. In order to obtain the texture, I built a small, tileable section of the mesh with splines and extracted a Z-Depth and an Alpha passes from a camera in orthographic view above it, then tiled them further in Affinity.

Oh I though you modeled it. I guess it's not that easy to do in geo in 3dsmax. But in MODO I found this tutorial that creates similar geo without a problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehEctJfMDC4

Also with Blender it could be "easy"

I havent' tried but I think this could be useful for this kind of models.

There is a QuadScatter script that allows you to produce that sort of geo in 3dsmax, fyi.
