Blueberry Jam

As an exercise of photo-realistic lighting and shading with VRay for Maya, I wanted to replicate this image I came across on interest of Blueberry Jam and some blueberries. This is a blog that will take you through my process in creating this piece.

I chose this image because it provides a lot of shading exploration opportunities including glass, metal and subsurface scattering for blueberries and the jelly. The table wood also provides an opportunity to test displacement in VRay and heavy texturing. I look forward to achieving a close replication of this image through VRay lighting and shading.
