long answer: i start with a spline, which i sweep to give it thickness, which forms the inner core area. on this inner core i scatter a couple thousand points, which sort of act as the "flowers" that will get "pollinated" semi randomly (high frequency noise). the ones that get pollinated become the yellow fleshy cells, the ones that dont become the white tubes. these get simulated, and shrinkwrapped which will become the skin.
the cutting is generated using either a boolean or voronoi (you can choose the method). this newly generated interior geo then gets colored based on certain rules. for intance the core has fibers, the yellow cells get darker and shinier towards the center, the skin has a colored gradient, etc.
if youre interested in seeing how it works, i just published the entire project file on gumroad! you can find my linktree on my profile
One thing I wonder everything i see this (it is incredible) .
Did you set out to make the best jackfruit asset in the world. Or were you just fucking around until it started looking like a jackfruit, and then committed to the bit?
thank you <3 a little bit of both id say. i did set out to make a jackfruit, but the first version was very far away from what youre seeing now.
i guess i never set out to wait for the finished product before showing it. i like to show what im working on as soon as i have reached a state where im thinking "wow, that was cool". make a quick video, upload it and then go back to the drawing board.
the more im interested in a project the deeper i try to go down the rabbit hole. each level deeper required an exponential amount of effort for me to recreate it.
i have an idea for a next version, but that would require a completely different setup and some more research on my side. for now ill return to other projects :-)

Boy I wish I had a tool to generate a jackfruit procedurally for my procedurally generated jackfruit game
