Thanks for the nice comments guys! I think I'll lattice map the pineapple and the leaves to a curve and animate that curve.
Maybe combine it with a cage for the leaves if that's possible (I wouldn't want to animate them all separately!). The leaf material is procedural, that's why it's a bit too regular. It probably won't be a problem when animating but yeah, it could use a little extra work. Photorealism isn't the primary goal here, although that banana looks very real. But the real job is the animation, very difficult to make it lively. More to follow! -Mark Hey Mark, that looks really nice. Great textures :) I can't wait to see that fruits animated! How are you going to animate the long leaves of the pineapple? I think that will be really hard, because every movement of the fruit will affect the leaves, too. Grüße, Jan
