20 Fruit and Vegetation Scan Model — VOL 03

Volume 03 of the scan series is twenty pieces of fruit and vegetation captured from real produce by photogrammetry rather than modelled by hand. That is the entire argument for it: a scanned pepper is lopsided, a scanned cabbage has leaves that never repeat, and the bruises sit where they actually fell instead of where an artist decided to paint them. It is set dressing for kitchens, market stalls, larders, allotments and any table a camera gets close to.

The polygon budget is deliberately wide, running from 1,300 triangles on the smallest pieces up to 45,000 on the largest, so a handful of berries costs almost nothing on screen while a leafy head keeps its silhouette in a close shot.

What you get

• ✓20 scanned fruit and vegetation models
• ✓FBX and OBJ, each in its own archive
• ✓1,300 to 45,000 triangles per model
• ✓A 4K texture set for every model
• ✓Basecolor, Ambient Occlusion, Normal, Roughness and ORM maps
• ✓A preview render of each piece

The five maps are the set a real-time renderer expects, with occlusion, roughness and metallic packed into the ORM so the three arrive as one sample rather than three. Wire that up once in Unreal or Unity and the piece is finished; in Substance Painter the same textures come in as a base to grade or dirty further, and the OBJ carries the same layout as the FBX for pipelines that prefer it.

Scans do the thing hand-modelled food never quite manages, which is survive repetition. Because every piece is a separate capture, a crate filled from this pack does not read as one apple copied forty times, and no amount of rotating and rescaling a single model gets you there.
