Hello everyone, my name is Han Yu. I’m very happy to create this tutorial and honoured to share this with you.

CONCEPT & REFERENCE IMAGES

Inspiration from movie Ratatouille was a starting point of this work. I wanted to make a cozy, peaceful and personal place like brunch time. To create this work I needed to collect abundant images for reference such as camera, pancake, fruit salad, and old library.

I generally used reference sites such as Flickr, Getty Images, Google, and Bing. Above all, I spent most of the time gathering brunch images and fruit salad images which were my primary prop.

MODELING

modelingAt first, I drew my draft in Photoshop using a tablet, and then built rough blocks of the model. By using only boxes and rough low resolution models, I set up overall composition of environment.

After getting a rough shape of the models, I made an ideal composition for the final image and set up the camera movement plan. Some of the models were made with Nurbs surfaces and then converted to Polygon afterwards. Almost all the modeling was then revised again for a moderate poly count for the final render. Almost all the models are mid-res polygon and deformed by Displacement and Bumps.

I need a good model before texturing. It doesn’t have to be a super high resolution model, but some of them which will be focused should have an enough polygon.
