Tomato part 2

I considered waiting until this actually looked passable before putting it up, but I decided that there is no point in having a progress blog if I don't bother sharing the sadder portions of my progress.







Still need to figure how to make the mold look like mold.  Maya Fur is the closest thing I've come up with so far (the same thing we used for the Senior Project render) but it looks like... fur.  And crap.

Notes:  I'm using mentalray this time because I really don't know how to use the Renderman shaders effectively and I'm short on time.  If the opportunity presents itself, I might make more of an effort to learn Renderman, but at this point I don't really see a reason to.  mentalray is fine for now.
