Wow, great work. Really great materials for the foodstuff. The Jam looks like something I would spread on the bread. The bread also is wonderful. Overall well made. The out of focused bread on the bottom left corner kinda distracts and grab attention away from the important parts. The plate and knife also need some loving I guess, they look all to simple material wise compared to the foodstuff that they appear kinda fake. And also what is that glassy thing on the top right? Kinda odd isn’t it?

Great work Andrew! The bread looks like a nice home-made lough of bread… Now I want some. Other then the butter, the hole scene looks really good.
I think I will take a wack at making some real looking butter, if I can get good results I will post back here.
i think you should use 2 different materials for the butter , the butter from your scene was freshly cut , meaning the face that was cut will shine more than the rest of the butter and have harder edges!
Idk thats just my opinion
wanna critique? In my opinion tools are too shiny and new. Don’t give the feel of used material. Like the knife in butter. He would have some butter on it too. As well as some small scrathes from frequent usage. But it’s just my opinion.
I remember learning about how Pixar spent a lot of time getting their bread to look realistic for Ratatouille and eventually they ended up creating a 3D volumetric texture (They called it a “volumetric hypertexture”) to make it look right and get that sort of foam-y texture (since bread technically is a foam - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam#Applications)
I wonder, does Blender have that kind of capability? I know it can handle volumetric shaders with the cloud material and what not, but what about these so-called hypertextures Pixar created in Renderman for their film?
Anyway, the image looks great! I really do like it. You’re getting a lot of grief for the butter haha but I do see how it would be slightly melted. I think what throws it off for me just a little is the knife - it just looks a little too… I dunno. CG. haha
Great work!
Great modeling, texturing and composition. I agree with those observations made about in the texturing of utensils and to some extent the smoothness of the butter, but I am sure this did not affect the overall quality of this piece of art. Sharing such great works is heart warming but sharing the techniques of how to make them is priceless. Thank you, Andrew, as always.
I am new on all this of 3D and Blender. I have read a lot of criticism (not just here) about “this does not look like it looks in the real world.” Then I’m beginning to wonder when that kind of criticism is valid.
For example, I see the butter from the scene more appetizing that the butter from the real world in the photos.
That is, I do not mean that people stop to point out when something does not look exactly like the real world, but I doubt that “the artist” should always do everything exactly as it looks in the real world.
The whole scene seems to me wonderful and appetizing!
Very realistic! Also very nice tutorial 
I’m gonna go ahead and second what louping said. The textures on the main loaf of bread and the sliced piece don’t match up. If you were to line up the two, the “bubbles” should match up with each other, but they don’t. Back to the bread academy for you, Andrew!
Seriously though, that should be fixed…
Hey, hey, I just saw some pics for the upcoming architecture academy here
Looking good!
It still says you’re in Australia, though…
Wow, you’ve set me right on about 4 things in this. That’s what I get for not backing up information that I get at a glance. I’ve been convinced that the way Cycles handles normal/displace maps was stupid and silly and gave terrible results. I now feel like a total dolt. And I was hoping to see a good tutorial on that SSS shader. Can’t wait to see it on my GPU Great tutorial!
Here you are, a one man band and your lighting a fire under many of the large studios who have over a hundred people on staff. What most people don’t realize is that these large studios have massive libraries on file with thousands of objects, materials, textures and special effects that they can just tweak and add to a scene. This is one of the most difficult textures that I can imagine.
Absolutely Spectacular
After all you ARE Andrew the GURU
Really Really realistic bread… Would be cooler with some more orange in the scene to create the look of morning sun
On the Grimsdale scale of Epicness, from 1 to 10, I rate this as Awesome!!
You already know I think its wonderful Andy…but! a little more grunge on the butter maybe where you can make out the imprint of the wrapper on the top of the butter would just give it more realism for me. Superb work and great tutorial I was really happy with the results of my first go at the bread shape and texture.
Thanks Andy, don`t work too hard

Many people are confused about the difference between alligator and crocodile skin. If you are buying a bag, you will find that alligator handbags can be significantly more expensive than comparable crocodile bags. Alligator skin was difficult to acquire for many years because they are only native to North America and were declared an endangered species. Alligators have made a comeback and with good conservation practices their skins are available in the marketplace again.American alligator skin is thicker, softer and more durable than most crocodile skin. The scales are more even and the texture tends to be more pronounced. Alligator scales are more likely to have a square- shaped appearance. Crocodiles have pits in their scales, alligators don’t. One way to tell alligator skin from crocodile skin is to look for small dimples in the scales. These dimples are found only in crocodile skin.The quality :michael kors outlet. of crocodile skin can vary widely since there are many species of crocodile found all around the world. Alligator tends to be more predictable since they are not as diverse. If you are purchasing alligator handbags, it is best to be able to tell the difference in skins since alligator handbags are almost always more expensive than crocodile bags.Price aside, both crocodile and alligator handbags are highly desirable fashion accessories and have been for well over a hundred years. The durability of the skins makes it possible to find a vintage alligator or crocodile handbag from the 1930’s or before. With proper care, alligator handbags will last for years and continue to look wonderful. Although some exotic leathers can be delicate, alligator and crocodile are usually quite tough.The finishes on alligator handbags are the same as those for crocodile. Both skins can use a combination of the classic and natural finish to get greater durability while still having a bright shine. A crocodile bag with a natural or combination finish may be more expensive than one with a classic finish, since the skin stretches less during processing. The classic finish uses high pressure to polish a natural protein, usually egg white or albumen, into the skin.Whether you are looking for a crocodile handbag or for alligator, you will find a wide selection of colors and styles. Generally, you will not find oversize handbags in natural reptile skin. A small crocodile handbag is a great fashion accessory for any look from casual to formal, whether natural or classic finish, these handbags have lots of class.Always beware of synthetic imitations. One way to spot fake crocodile is that synthetics usually don’t have the dimples that would be found on real skin. Since a crocodile handbag can cost well over a thousand dollars, you want to know you are getting the :michael kors canada. genuine article.It isn’t wise to buy fine leather goods from mall kiosks, street venders or :michael kors handbags. Internet auctions since if you buy a fake, you’re usually stuck with it. These dealers disappear as soon as they have your money. If buying online, look for customer reviews on the quality of the products and the customer service of the dealer.Resource: Buy your genuine crocodile bag from Bag Choice to be assured of authenticity and quality. Bag choice has a large selection of crocodile and alligator handbags. Visit their website today.Video Source: Youtube
Nice try Andrew.
Bernard Benoit did some study on the same topic some time ago: http://bertrand-benoit.com/blog/2012/09/22/bits-of-bread/
What I like on your render are bread, jam jar (but the jam is too transparent), lighting & compostion. Cutlery, plates, butter and some coffee in the background look fake.
Additionally there is no knife for the bread and the bread itself should lie on the wooden cutting board not on the plate imho.
S…, I become hungry…
I’m stunned with the bread’s inner structure!
