This project started as an exploration of SSS shader in V-Ray. Eventually I was inspired by food photography and decided to put together a scene. I think raspberries are a spectacular looking fruit because of their eye catching, deep, warm color. They are also challenging to make in 3D. Even though they can be pushed towards realism more, I am happy with how everything turned out so far.
Update: I have revised this project upon critiques I received. Mainly the models have been improved overall and fixed a few shaders/textures.
