Lemon skin challenge

it’s Maxwell, though regard the bump the result should match with Cycles pretty much, and displacement is from blender.

@marco, looks much better
@Paolo, great work, love the bump

Thank you Michalis,
however the inner pulp is still a problem, maxwell volumetric is not the best for that, and to find a good workflow and a good texture is not easy, that’s why I gave up with it (for now).

So I’ve had a chance to try out some of the techniques suggested in responses to my original post. Here’s the result:


By no means perfect but - I think you’ll agree - a big improvement on the image with which I kicked off this thread.

I’m pleased with the result but in fact it was just a matter of applying some of the advice I got on this forum. So a big thanks to SterlingRoth (who was kind enough to share his node group) and also to photox, jjjuho, petitwilly and modnightcpu for some fantastic and inspiring images.

Moving on now …

… oops forgot to mention shteeve (who produced the best lemon yet (in my opinion) as well as MarcoG_ita
