DESCRIPTION

Ultra-realistic 3D model of a fresh, ripe corn on the cob (Zea mays), meticulously rendered to capture every detail of this iconic vegetable in stunning clarity. The cob features rows of plump, golden-yellow kernels arranged in perfect spirals, each one individually modeled with subtle variations in size, shape, and surface texture—reflecting natural growth patterns. The kernels exhibit a soft, glossy sheen that mimics their moist, tender appearance, enhanced by realistic lighting effects that highlight depth, volume, and slight imperfections such as minor blemishes or natural ridges.

The green husk is partially peeled back, revealing the vibrant yellow cob beneath while maintaining its natural curvature and layered structure. The leaves are modeled with high fidelity, featuring fine veins, subtle translucency at the edges, and realistic flexibility, giving them a lifelike drape. The base of the cob includes a short, fibrous stem with a slightly rough texture, adding authenticity to the overall composition. The entire model casts a soft shadow on a neutral background, emphasizing its three-dimensional form and photorealistic quality.

This high-fidelity digital asset is ideal for use in agricultural visualization, food packaging design, culinary content, educational materials, or as a symbolic element in environmental and sustainability projects. It can also serve as a reference for artists, product designers, or chefs creating visual concepts for healthy eating, farm-to-table branding, or seasonal produce promotions. The model includes full PBR materials—albedo, roughness, metallic, normal, ambient occlusion, and specular maps—for accurate rendering in Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, Unity, or Cinema 4D. These materials simulate realistic light interaction, including reflection on the kernels, matte finish on the husk, and subtle translucency in the leaves.

The geometry is optimized for both high-resolution renders and real-time applications, with clean topology, precise UV mapping, and efficient polygon distribution. The model supports animation, allowing for effects like peeling the husk, rotating the cob, or simulating steam rising after cooking. It is ready for integration into virtual reality experiences, augmented reality apps, digital menus, or interactive educational platforms.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal

No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.

UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
