5 Minute CGI Strawberry

**Here's a video tutorial to model a CGI strawberry. Although it's specifically for Cinema 4D, those using other 3D modeling and animation programs could pick up some tips as well.**

Anyone who has at least experimented with a 3D modeling and animation knows how difficult it is to achieve photo-realistic results, even when the desired output is a single image. In the past, I dabbled with Blender 3D enough to know the skill, knowledge, attention to detail and patience necessary to make, say, a convincing strawberry.

In the following video tutorial, [3D artist Daniel Mozbäuchel ](https://www.behance.net/iDani)reveals his technique for modeling a strawberry. Mozbäuchel described how he adapted the process for his system's resources: "Often, the Collision-Deformer is used to press the holes in the berry. This slows down my iMac with i7 processor completely. I have found that the Points Selection of a low poly object is stored when i put it under a Subdivison-Surface and then converts them into a high-resolution Object. Here, you can easily push the points with a Soft-Selection, without the computer [slowing] down." Unfortunately, Mozbäuchel's tutorial doesn't instruct how to complete the *scene* from this article's featured image, but its brisk five minute duration means you have plenty of time to look up other tutorials to fill out your own creation.
