In case you’re wondering why the pancakes are flat, it’s because Russian pancakes are flat.
They’re soaked with butter and syrup too.
Even though it may look like it I didn’t use any of Blender’s simulator tools to make the curves of the pancakes or the flow of the butter and syrup.
aren’t all pancakes flat? I usually don’t take off the top of the syrup bottle and pore the whole thing on my pancakes, russian or other styles. 
great job!
Russian pancakes are a bit flatter then normal pancakes, my grandma makes them all the time, since she got the recipe my mother has dropped making regular pancakes for these.
As a result you can make a lot more Russian pancakes with the same amount of batter and at grandma’s I would eat six at a time.
Also, the way you eat them is different, instead of cutting them into pieces you roll them up and cut them in a rolled position.
The syrup needs to be a bit more transparent, and the butter reminds me a bit of SpongeBob (don’t use displacement/noise to make it, as it’s supposed to look smooth).
thats a lot of syrup =) This render is making me hungry!
But i agree the butter should look alot smoother, mine never has dimples and things like the render does, or maybe thats a russian thing too =o
huuuuuuuuu who will clean that up? :eek: Your pet? Or a firehose with huge amount of water? :rolleyes: And must not the butter begin to melt, i suppose those pancakes, or hehe that french word, crepes arent a little hot, when they are fresh out off the pan? But i eat them with strawberry jam or something like that.
Then I guess in Holland we also eat russian pancakes.
In Soviet Russia, pancake eats you!
Seriously though, nice pancakes. Is that real maple syrup?
no the pancake dont eat you but you’ll get a little gift from chernobyl with the pancake of SOVIET russia.
(you know a cool little green glow!)
Lol, only after a few bottles of Wodka, it will.
P
Then I guess in Holland we also eat russian pancakes.
And in England. With lemon and sugar. Mmmm. Damn I love pancake day.
I’d smooth over the butter, maybe give it a coat that’s melted around it.
Also, try and think of a story for your pictures, it’ll add a lot.
I guess everybody exept for the Americans (and probably Australia, Canada,…) eat those flat pancakes.
To make them extra yummy you should ad half a glass of strong Belgian dark beer to your batter so that the yeast in the beer will make the pancakes a bit lighter.
In Slovenia, the pancakes are really flat aswell. Though we use marmelade over them, then roll them around.
Also my grandmother sometimes makes pancakes as the main meal, and they aren’t the stuff with lots of sugar. They’re with spinach! (and they taste -so- awesome)
About the picture itself: I like it. ^^
Same here in Argentina, flat pancakes rolled and here you can prepare them with sugar or with salt. The sweet ones you roll them up usually with “dulce de leche” (some kind of milk jelly, really nice) and the salted (is that the correct word?) ones can be used to make “canelones” (I think in italian it’s “caneloni”). When making canelones you can roll them up with spinach, with jam and cheese or other things I just can’t translate right now =P
Oh… and by the way… the whole scene looks HUGE to me, try using some depth of field to give the feeling of a reduced space.
Cheers!
Thanks all for the comments, I did make a re-render with smoother butter and less filter on the syrup for Friday13 but since some people like it the way it is i’ll leave it as is.
The reference I used is a mental picture of my Grandma’s pancakes, that means no real reference.
I do believe we call your Russian Pancakes “crepes”
still delicious however.
Dito. We ALWAYS roll them and cut them. That’s just the way you eat them
You English :]
I don’t understand how you can eat ANYTHING with lemon.
P
We do the same in Romania … :eek:what a coincidence.
russian pancakes or a drunks pancakes…they are spread all over the table with syrup everywhere…all over the dish and all over the table…and is that sponge bob on the top there?
seriously though, the pancakes look well modeled…i would maybe put only three on the plate, and maybe have a lot less syrup…the plate looks well textured so you have one of the harder aspects of modeling down…texturing well is very difficult so congratulations
