I finallly found a good use for Maya's procedural "wood" texture.
Fish.
Entirely procedural fish and rice, rendered in Maya 8.5, mental ray. The depth of field was done in Photoshop.

I remember in the making of ratatouille someone said, "It takes a very successful artist to make CG food look appetizing." and they were right, very few can accomplish this, and I'll be honest, you're only half way there.
The fish looks fantastic. I went to a sushi train 2 days ago and it looked just like that!
However the rice needs work, as it doesn't look appealing to eat at all! It appears very dry and bizzarly white. It needs some moisture!
Those are my only crits. The lighting is perfect as is the texturing of the chopping board. The soy sauce in the bowl looks photoreal by the way ;)
PS. What's the green thing in the background?

Very nice worl the fish looks really tasty... only little crit i have: The rice looks a bit like styrofoam, i think you need to tweak a bit on the subsurfacescattering.
Else very cool work.

Amazing fish! love the soya too!
The rise look abit dry. And I personally dont like the darkness in the background. especially the backside of the fish in focus. It looks more appealing when it has more saturation and less shadow

This sushi looks great. Crazy realistic. You should know though that someone followed your tutorial on it and is selling their model on exchange3d.com. Maybe its just me, but selling a model that someone else walked you through step by step seems wrong. They do at least give you credit for it though. Oh, and they're selling it for more than it is going for on gnomonology.com.
anyway, great work.
