About this asset

This photogrammetry-based cupcake model features a detailed sponge texture and a pleated white paper liner for realistic staging. Captured via photogrammetry, this single cupcake model presents a realistic, irregular sponge surface with natural golden-yellow tones and subtle textural variations indicative of baked goods. The top shows a characteristic cracked, domed crown, while the base is encased in a standard pleated white paper liner. The geometry maintains the organic, slightly asymmetrical silhouette typical of artisanal baking. The model includes a 2K PBR texture set consisting of albedo, normal, and ambient occlusion maps, ensuring that the fine details of the crumb and the folds of the paper liner respond accurately to scene lighting.

The download is a 15.3 MB compressed archive with the model in format.

Integrate this asset into your 3D scenes by importing the mesh and applying the provided 2K PBR texture maps through your native software's material editor. Use the normal map to enhance the surface depth of the sponge and the ambient occlusion map for subtle contact shadows within the paper liner pleats. Given its reasonable polygon density, this model is suitable for close-up hero shots or as a background element in larger retail or hospitality visualisations without significantly impacting rendering performance.

This asset is ideal for populating interior scenes that require realistic food styling, such as high-end restaurant visualisations, cafe interior design, or residential kitchen renders. It works well when placed on dining tables, kitchen islands, or display counters to add a lived-in, authentic touch to a project. Professionals might search for this when looking for bakery props, food decor, or café accessories to enhance the narrative quality of a commercial or residential space during the final stages of rendering.
