My entry for day 3 of Nodevemer Challenge. The strawberries are spheres wth vector displacement. The leaves are particles rendered as alpha masked plane objects

Absolutely ridiculous!
Hats off… Great looking strawberries.
Thank you!
The shapes are nice, but they look a bit too plastic. Too shiny and too perfect. Dirty them up a bit, add some texture to break up that perfectly glossy surface, and vary the color a bit more, add some greenish white in places. Also some subsurface scattering would help too.
Yes, you are right. The textures are not great because I wasn’t aiming for photorealism. The main of objective these challenges is practice and not perfection. Why practise something you already know, right? Say if I was doing for a client, I would add all sorts of things such as colour variation, surface imperfection, roughness detail, thickness maps for sss etc. My aim for this challenge is to understand vector displacement as I have not played with it.
