You are the Goddess of food props...

Could I add some things to your "to make" list?

I have been looking for food props related to the basic food groups, but other than fruits and veggies, I've not had much success in finding appropriate food props.

I've found some .3ds ones but when I try using them they look very plastic and unreal.

There seems to be a lack of the following:

glass of milk
bottle of milk
cheese round
loaf of bread (no wrapper)
slice of bread
bowl of salad
head of iceburg lettuce
head of romaine lettuce
meats (IE: Steak, roast chicken)

"I've found some .3ds ones but when I try using them they look very plastic and unreal." If that's the problem then the solution is down to the texture and/or other material settings, as long as the mesh is basically ok. When all is said and done, the majority of simple meshes are pretty much the same, whether they are 3DS or OBJ, LWO or whatever.

Actually, I think it would be really nice if she'd do a food set package as a for sale product. She is far and away the best modeler in the world (in my humble opinion).

If we had fan picked favorites awards, i think TrekkieGrrrl would win in a couple of categories.

Well, anyone who makes onions on request gets my vote any day.

Gerald Day's posable glasses at [Fast3D](http://fast3d.actionbabecentral.com/) could be used for your milk glass - just recolour the contents, and reduce the transparency. They're on the Archive 3 page. Trekkie has a milk carton on her site, in the morphing props section (it crumples). If you need a bottle, then I assume just any bottle won't do - and the shape of milk bottles is very regionalised. If you can supply a reference picture, I'm sure someone can knock something up. I have a [morphing sandwich](http://www.morphography.uk.vu/dl.php?file=sandwich.zip), if that will do; if not, hopefully I can find the precision scanned bread texture for you. It may have gone mouldy, though. This is an old prop. ;)

I'm trying to gather items that represent the basic food groups, such as these:

Hey I used that very same graphic of an Ad for a healthcare company here in Montreal. All they had was a pdf of that illustration, so I opened it in Illustrator to make into a Hi rez printable graphic.

Gerald should also have a plastic milk jug--don't see too many bottles anymore. Little Dragon did this one. You can ask him if he still has it anywhere. If you have a scanner, you can make a pretty mediocre mesh look good by just scanning some textures, meat, cheess, etc.

'You are the Goddess of food props' You're wrong. She really isn't A Trekkie nor a girl ... she's an ugly fat klingon male MWHUAAHAHA Casette ready to be spanked

Ockham has posted in freestuff a 1920's Refrigerator with an open and shut door, and matching milkbottles. So, with Ockham's articulated prop, younot only get your bottle of milk, but also a lovely 1st generation antique refrigerator to keep it from spoiling. How much better can things get? 1920's electric refrigerator by ockham: "A reproduction of a late '20s GE refrigerator, the style called "Monitor Top". Door opens, handle works, freezer frosts up just like the real thing did. Package also includes a period milkbottle and matching "cream spoon". Each piece in CR2 form."
