Pepper and Parmesan

Personal project inspired by a place we ate at years ago. I thought the pepper and parmesan shakers were very interesting and decided to make a pizza dive scene. Left if for a long time then finally got back to it.
Made 2 versions of the shaker lid, beat it up in zbrush. I am a big fan of macro photography.

Used Chaos Cosmos for the pizza and beer
Megascans map set for the table top, modified
Modeled shakers and lid in MAX, beatup model in Zbrush
Tyflow for Pepper flakes/seed, parmesan particles

Excellent…simple and very effective, much like pizza really :slight_smile:

Nicely done, food renderings are always interesting. I especially love the shot of the water on the dirty table, looks very convincing. The DOF is very strong though, which makes it a bit render-ish.

Absolutely abusing DoF and camera angle here. Gave myself a short timeline and did not spend time building out any surrounding environment.
