In this post, I want to talk about creating kiwfruit using Blender. I think the results are very good and I especially like how the kiwi face turned out (which I used Substance Designer to create – but I’ll create a separate blog article to focus on that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiwifruit very greatly depending on the reference images used, so I think there is no ‘perfect’ shape. What is important is that a kiwi is not really egged shaped with points tapering inwards, but closer to a rectangle with rounded edges. I find too many kiwi models available for sale are too egged shaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the stem, pastels, and other bits of detail that are on the ends make or break the photorealism. Attempting to create that much detail with a single mesh (by extruding out from the original body) was just too difficult. It was much easier to create them as separate objects place them on the kiwi body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also allows you to create a greater variation of kiwis in case you are rendering more than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made a video on how I made these. The kiwifruit series can be found on YouTube here:<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
