Description
When there's an energy drink named after your species, you just have to try it.

It's Alioth buying stuff in the local supermarket; To be true, it's not her local supermarket, this one's more than five kilometres away from her home and she has to pass several others to go there, but that's details. To add some flair to the picture, I inserted my avatar in the background checking out the grape juice. The cheap one. I finally got a round tuit, so I fixed the dress to follow the rig. Well, mostly. And just like in every movie and/or TV production (at least if they're made in Germany), the shelves are filled to the brim with not a single product missing, except where I was too lazy to add products at all.

This is what happens if I want to organise my props: I just wanted to create a shelf in Blender to display some stuff in my libraries. I went for a supermarket like design, added some general packages, checked the correct size by adding Fiona and somehow everything went this way from there on. It was quite hard to think of that many product names and packaging design, so please bear with me the repetition in the shelves further away. I wanted to add a few shopping carts for scenery, but if you take a look at a shopping cart, you may imagine they are quite hard to model. Soon…

Alioth's legs are looking kind of weird. I never understood why biped creatures should have digitigrade legs, it must be quite hard to walk with, especially if said creature has no tail to keep balance (She has one, but there are creatures out there who don't, e.g. Warcraft's Worgen). »Willing suspension of disbelief« should be my friend here, and in most cases, it does look better this way. Unfortunately, the rigify plugin in Blender doesn't work that well with this kind of feet, so there's still work to be done. As always.

This picture contains 38 metres of shelves, 2880 cans of energy drink, 356 bottles of grape juice, 1520 boxes of iced tea and 148 big green bottles containing an unknown substance, plus 422 price tags.

Modelled in Blender, product packaging made with Krita, Inkscape and The GIMP, rendered with Cycles in 3:20 in 4K and scaled down to remove fireflies (and for file size reasons).
