Surface-Modeled Cherries

A photorealistic cherry study built through surface modeling and rendered in KeyShot — organic geometry as a CAD discipline.

Overview

Parametric CAD is built for prismatic engineering parts; organic forms expose its limits. This study used surface modeling to construct cherry geometry — continuous curvature, subtle asymmetry, stem transitions — then developed materials and lighting in KeyShot to push the render toward photorealism.

Why it matters

Surfacing and rendering skills carry directly into engineering work: aerodynamic fairings, ergonomic housings, and design communication all depend on controlling curvature and presenting geometry convincingly.
