Anyone who has a minute to spare might like to add works made about this theme.

Cauliflower and Cabbage much looked forward to seeing!

Brian

Nice Brian!

Give us a render

Very difficult to get the lower "purple" the exact shade I had in mind.

Brian

I was not at all happy with the "leaves" in the original
Here is a rework idea.

1. I projected the leaves shape onto a half dome and trimmed out
2. Added thickness and filleted
3. Trimmed off one of the leaves and rotated.

I think this enabled me to get a more realistic, less stilted, mechanical look.
(When the stem is added it will hide the small visual discrepancies)

Brian

And another one.

Broccoli

Only part way through just the Broccoli head and running out of MoI/Computer limits!
Maybe I am too ambitious

Hi Brian,

Nice work

You will be the first farmer to harvest
on the planet Mars

A banana :-)

1.- Draw a hexagon and an arc


2.- Sweep the hexagon with the arc like rail, and care to finish both ends in point


3.- For cutting the ends, draw 2 lines and fuse them with the solid. After that, you can separate the result


4.- Fillet it and...a banana! :-)

nice!

Good one David.
Lots of learning I am finding out. Skills build up and become usefull for later more complex work.

Brian

Thanks steve and Brian!

Now, a pumpkin :-)

1.- Draw a 10 points star


2.- Fillet all the vertex



3.- Draw the axe of the shape.
4.- Draw a freeform curve with control points. Keep the tangent with the 2 first points


5.- Finish the curve in the axe



6.- The same for the bottom "hemisphere"


7.- Rail revolve


8.- The same in the bottom....


9.- A pumpkin!




10.- Take a set of eyes and mouth for halloween. Use the booleans for draw the face :-)

A few more guys and we could assemble a fruit salad :D

Cheers

Great David.
Good fun!
Here is my little effort for this morning.

Brian

David
One of the things I have in Carrara can, I think, produce little round bumps all over the surface--actually in 3d displacement! Guess you have seen those sort of small pumpkin type things.

Any chance of having your 3DM file to try rendering on please?

Brian

Hey David you've done this before!

Great how-to, thanks.

And Brian, your veges have been genetically modified I'm sure

Steve

I am just working from "memory"!

(My wife would say WHAT memory of kitchen stuff!)

TRUE!

Brian

@Brian: I didn´t save the file because it was very basic. The idea was to show like with a poweful tool like MoI you can make pretty things with a few steps (obviously, the final model may be more refined). But I have made it again and I have seen that is not necesary to divide the profiles in two "hemispheres" (less steps) :-)
You get a very nice renders, I´ll be grateful for your render.
@steve: anything like that? :-P

David
I hope you like this. A good bit of fun.
All the rendering in Carrara6Pro.

Brian

Hi David, this picture of the watermelons is great. I assume that's something you did in Photoshop??

Hi Brian,

A quick play with a cabbage leaf.
