Fruit Tarts With Blender (Free download)

Fruit tarts, especially the crust, was a pretty interesting material to make and making the PBR crust was by-far the hardest thing to figure out -since I didn’t want to just slap on a photograph of a tart shell as my base material.  

Watch the video here:

With close up shots, you’ll need a high level of fidelity. Both on the tart and fruit. For wider shots or if the tart is in the background, you can reduce the mesh on the tart significantly.

I think it looks pretty good and it’s quite a lot of fun to create tarts. So hopefully this gives you some ideas on your projects.

I’ve provided a .blend file which contains the shader node setup.  It also contains a sample tart mesh you can use on your own projects.  You can download it here.

Here are some sample renders I created with this mesh and shader setup.
