Seriously dude, you have to make a “How to create realistic coffee beans” -tutorial
Well, sorry for the long delay since the last post. I’m quite busy lately.
For a start I would like to thank you for all the kindly and nice comments (especially those from BobM and Fliir sounds very poetic) and for a big response, which was ended by moving the image to the gallery (which is, in my opinion, a little big honor for the ordinary cup of coffee 
).
So here’s a modest “making off”, which should answer your eventual questions.
-
Some inspiration at the beginning. I checked the Flickr for a start (which is the most common source of inspiration for me) and I put aside one real empty paper cup of coffee from a vending machine :-).
-
Textures. Actually only this one set. http://www.fuzzimo.com/free-hi-res-coffee-beans-texture-seamless/ (It could be useful for you.) Everything else (including the texture of the cup) was madein the GIMP.
-
Modeling and rendering
Coffee beans were sculpted in Sculptris. Nothing extraordinary. Few minutes of work.
There are only three versions of beans + three versions of materials (simply copied and arranged by Blender’s Game engine).
Regarding the settings. De facto the only thing I used from the textures of coffee beans (those above) was the seam (UV mapped), the rest are mainly procedural textures from Blender and GIMP.
(One of the materials.)
The whole scene:
Defocus was made in Blender. Then just a postpro in the GIMP (layers effects, color correction, brightness correction, soft noise etc.) which is quite sufficient for this (aside from the impossibility of working with layers group which makes the job a little confusing) and a small correction in Motiva RealCamera.
So. That’s all.
Thank you and have a nice day.

This was a “quickie”? If my main work could be as good as your scratch work, I’d be set!
Tasty. I can almost smell the coffee scents. Nice work, radek.

hmmm, really nice
mmmmm yummy
nice nice nice amazing work thanks for sharing!!!
You shouldn’t be surprized man -very well done- beans almost look real.
Many thanks! If it weren’t for this post I wouldn’t have found Motiva RealCamera, thanks for sharing
EPIC! That is great. I tried making some coffee beans, but the looked like, umm, blobs. I’m drinking a coffee right now.

“Idle hands are the devil’s work.”
I can almost smell that coffee! Perfect work, man!
You make me want to drink so much coffee now Impressive. It has a nice atmosphere to it! Can’t say I’m much of an artist. But still, I am new to Blender and willing to learn something. Just have to tame my inertia though
Very well done indeed!
My only crit would be that the top could use some (more?) SSS, but I’m not sure you can do that in Yafaray. Other than that, don’t change a thing!
Wow really nice and attractive nice beans and nice frame of photo really nice angle
its beautiful Radek. i love it. so subtle…
That looks great! I now want some coffee, thanks for keeping my addiction alive.
