Level 5: Building a Burger–Melted Cheese
After completing the donut tutorial by BlenderGuru, I was challenged to create something similar by myself, so I chose to make a burger. Last time, I grilled up a patty. Now, how about some cheese?
Modelling the Cheese by Sanctus – Blender Procedural
Cheese can be draped over the patty with the use of cloth dynamics.
Blender doesn’t handle very small simulations particularly well due to floating-point errors, so I have been working on a burger that is sized up by a factor of 50. I will correct the scale to reflect real-world values at the end of the project.
I created a plane and positioned it above the patty. I subdivided that plane a good number of times to provide the necessary detail.
I set the patty as a collision object and added a cloth modifier to the plane. I chose the rubber preset for the cloth modifier. I played the timeline and froze on a frame I liked.
I added a solidify modifier to give the cheese some thickness. Then, I applied the cloth modifier so I would not lose the shape.
It looks pretty good as clay, but I like my burger with some color.
Texturing the Cheese by Default Cube
I started simple with a yellow color for the diffuse, an orange color for the subsurface scattering and numeric values for the subsurface and roughness. Then, I made things complicated by adding noise textures for the subsurface, roughness, transmission and normal.
The subsurface determines how much light enters into the volume of the cheese before it is reflected out.
Roughness determines how shiny the surface is.
Transmission determines how much you can see through the cheese to the meat below; you can see through more in the melty places.
Normal adds more distortion and detail to the surface without altering the geometry.
Here is the textured cheese in Eevee.
