[UE4] Photoscanned Fruits and Vegetables
polycounter lvl 7
Hi there!
I started working on fruits and vegetables recreated using photogrammetry based on real life objects
All will have 5k tris with LOD stages and 4k PBR textures.
I've scanned over 20 fruits and vegetables in total (some are the same type but variation), and I'll end up with probably 25 or something like it.
I'll submit those asset to Unreal Marketplace
Let me know what you think
Soon I'll upload them on my Sketchfab, here are screens of few processed ones:

they got LODs so i guess this should be fine
How do you manage having all the sides captured ? You obviously cannot just lay the fruit on the ground.
I was running the fruit through a metal spike (since metal is reflective it wasn't captured on the scan) Results were not so good, I did damage the fruit a bit during the process
I guess with LODs down to few hundred it should have good balance between quality nad performance, I'm aiming for next-gen and arch vis
@Sebvhe I won't reveal too much, artists's secrets
(Good right?)
LOD's are great sure but next gen 5K is WAY too much for a single fruit - jees, its to much fora fruit bowl with fruit. Even with LOD's. I could easily see these cut down to a few hundred tris at the most in the high detail mesh.
Give it a go and see what you get? Its good practice for sure.
5k for a bowl of fruit isnt excessive on PC though
Good point for marketplace meshes. Do you get the FBX files when you purchase something from the market place? I guess you can just export it from UE4.
Either way, Have at it!
Here is update, some fruits/vegetables will have cut halves
You can just mount it in a long nail sticking out of a board leaving only a small area to clean up.
Anyway, update with more fruits and vegetables, almost 20 done
You should maybe make the pineapple leaves from scratch, it will not take long and look much better.
Furthermore I wonder if some of the fruit could use a little SSS to enhance their "fleshy" look.
Just my 2 cent here but I feel the lemon and orange shader could be improved, it still is a bit fake.
Yes I'll make pineapple leaves by hand, scan didn't catched them clearly.
Subsurface was great idea, I added it to some fruits
It still WIP, I'll be correcting everything later.
Here is another update: more vegetables and apples
In the end will be 35 models, there are only few more left, and I think I'll submit them to Unreal Marketplace for 50$
I think the textures are actually photos scans as the thread title says it
4K textures for one fruit piece or for the sliced up parts as well? That's some next next gen fruit you got there.
The sliced up parts could use some more gloss I think, they look a little dried out now.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but an Xbone/PS4 absolutely could handle 5k triangle fruit, especially in a fully deferred single geometry pass engine like UE4.
It's probably a little excessive for some games, you wouldn't want that in an open world game. But 1k+ triangles for small props is certainly not out of the question at all, especially with good LODs.
@Har - Yes, 4k for full fruit and another 4k for sliced part
@FreneticPonies - I guess if you put them on bowl in kitchen it won't make significant impact on performace. Pack will also include ~1k tris models for use in more numbers. 5k will be great for cinematic use or close up ArchVis
Pack for UE4 is close to finish
I still have to redo pineaplle leaves and do some more things. In total have 34 models
It seems like you do though? :poly124:
Anyway; these look great! Could you post up the 1k versions, too? I'd love to see them and see the difference between the versions...
Keep it up!
OR, just make the fruit float with string/s using some of that movie magic.
With bigger fruits you need more support, use needles or poke a hole through and use clear plastic rod etc creative. Photoshop away stuff you don't need.
Alternate method with significantly less photoshopping but more gear would be to drop the fruit and use flash and remote trigger(s) to capture the fruit in mid fall. You can look around for still shot tutorials for capturing splashing water for example for a setup tutorial. You might also get away with sufficient lighting - result might have some blurring though. Drop the fruit multiple times with quick flash trigger/low exposure until happy with the coverage. Multiple camera setups might save some time, although would be expensive as hell. Also don't forget to cushion the landing or you'll end up bruising the fruit.
That's at least how I would do it. :thumbup:
