Any Interest in Produce Freebies? (poll)
- Thread starter Lyne
- Start date
I am always up for food-related freebies. The characters have to have something to eat! 
I was experimenting with more of SnowFireGraphic's foods to see how they hold up, and if they can use unimesh (only the egg couldn't but it looks good anyway!). I'm doing an art piece where I needed some food.... Sooo obviously there will be more than just produce...
Please keep in mind this is a big project (back 'in the day' we all saved maps as tif's with BUM's! eeek!) - but I hope to start doing the FREEBIE "sets" of the Food categories sooner than later....
PS...also please keep in mind, with MY limited diet, this is sort of painful...as Snowfire made these deserts soooo real! To say nothing of how I used to be able to eat "raisin bread" too, and loved it.... sigh.
and yes, there's a chocolate donut with NO nuts for those allergic!

Lyne, I can totally empathize with you on the diet! I can't eat gluten OR dairy, at this point... so pretty much almost ALL desserts are off-limits to me... and certain ones I used to really love!
These look great, though. I can feed them to my characters, at least! They can enjoy the sugar rushes for me. LOL!

Do you have any Nectarines, Peaches and Strawberries? Some of the favorites I would love to have, but ANY produce is good. I can use it all.
Welcome to HiveWire, Gilraen.... I took a quick look/render:
found a PLUM that looks yummy too... R to L: plum, watermelon slice (whole one in set too) strawberries (tho not sure, is texture map on whole one still good enough?) nectarine, and peach... they are NOT sized... I need to bring in Dawn and size them to each other and humans...and I want to update the maps (UPDATE ONLY MEANS ADD SOME CONTRAST/SHARPNESS, WHAT EVER IS NEEDED... I WON'T BE MAKING ANY NEW MAPS!)
I also have to change tif maps into jpgs, and create a proper runtime... (poser only remember) for these props...
I have some um... "mundane life stuff" causing me extra anxiety right now, so give me a month to get to this large project... I am pretty fast once I get focused on it!
but I WILL do a set or two each of:
Produce
Foods like already shown, and more...
whatever will work well for our new machines, and higher resolution monitors!

I rather have the texture maps. They look excellent.
@eclark1894 "I rather have the texture maps."
not quite sure what you mean? the props are textured with maps as shown. I just was not sure the strawberry was "up to par" as we say here in the usa (or maybe anywhere people play golf? ) Anyway, food props load in poser as shown.

Those all look great. Food props are much easier to find now than they were when I started in 2009, but more is always welcome.
Something that would be useful, if you are interested in a project (needs a good camera) might be a set of scalable round planes, or very short cylinders, that can be fitted manually into bowls or pots or whatever, textured with various types of soups or stews or sauces.

way cool. voted yes. would also love foods cooked by native peoples on a spit or coals or hot stones. broiled wild life like rabbit, or deer legs/shanks, fish etc. really hard to find for old world or camping scene development, etc.
but produce is way cool. indian corn variety with cob and leaves, squash, bitten into apples and other fruits................
