hi all!

I got problem with tomato skin shader, I don`t know how make realistic skin :confused: Please help me :slight_smile:

here my test:

and here sets shader:

cheers !

Maybe a bit more reflective and less glossy? Maybe up the fog bias a bit to get a more general illumination to the translucency?

3

I’d say some more contrast in darker areas or a bit different lighting setup to enhance one side of the tomato. A little less scattering too.

4

Maybe making it less glossy does the trick already, if not, maybe turn down the saturation of the reflection down a little bit, it seems a bit too orange.

5

Maybe adding some texture to brake reflection
or glossiness. Just a little to get some details and
variations to surface. There is no perfect surface in nature.

hello !

Big Thanks Guys!
I think SSS is very good for this kind of shaders but I don`t know how use that :confused: of course Lights are important and targets.

Maybe somebody play with SSS and Tomato?

About texture is good idea, but I`d like got: http://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/vegetable\_seeds\_and\_plants/vegetable\_seeds/tomato\_seed\_abraham\_lincoln/l/tomato\_abraham\_lincoln.jpg

To me what you’ve already got is pretty good! I think the lighting situation is letting it down. Get a good studio lighting system going and THEN mess around the material.

I think you are pretty close really.

If you are using subsurface scattering in the standard VrayMaterial then I would suggest using fast SSS2 as this will be much quicker, & easier to control with more options.

If you look at tomato juice it is very similar in density to milk [which there is a preset for] Seen as though they are both similar materials Try starting with the milk preset & tweaking the colours.

Hope this helps

Thats right, nothing a miss here just an ex employee that no longer works for me, he was a good guy, but the economic downturn to the start of the year was hard for us and it was a real shame that i had to make the decision that i did ! …
