I started with the dog itself, a manipulated cylinder using a whole array of different tools. The texture was actually a skin texture, but it looks realistic enough :-D
step 2 of 8
Same procedure for the bun as for the dog. it needed lots more tools to sculpt it around the dog though.
step 3 of 8
Made a table, added the floor,
step 4 of 8
Made a tray, duplicated hot dog and use the same tools to manipulate it and make sure each one was unique.
step 5 of 8
Created a glass of water from a cylinder and used another cylinder inside to represent the water. Always keep checking with a preview render to make sure it looks good.
step 6 of 8
In this step I am playing around with lighting looking for the best effect, in the end I went for a light source just above and to the right of the table.
step 7 of 8
I created the sauce bottles in this step, I started with a simple cylinder, the increased the segments and slowly turned it into the bottle shape by altering dimensions and placements from the bottom to the top. I made two, one for mustard (yellow) and one for ketchup (red)
step 8 of 8
This final step was mainly about positioning each item and looking at different camera angels and judging if the textures were right or lighting could be changed.
