Patrick Foley is a 3D artist who specialises in creating photorealistic food. Utilising a combination of ZBrush, Cinema 4D and Octane, he has earned legendary status in the 3D world through his daily Instagram reels, showcasing the process behind his remarkable food renders that have claimed him the name 'The Digital Chef.'

What began as a 3D artist having fun transformed into Patrick securing high-profile clients eager to feature his photorealistic food renders on their product packaging. Patrick owes the majority of his professional 3D opportunities to social media, emphasising that Instagram functions as a live portfolio and should be viewed as a means of branding yourself online.

Showcasing his ZBrush skills daily on social media led to Patrick's relationship with the company, attending the official ZBrush Summit, and regularly hosting live streams titled 'Cooking With Patrick' on the ZBrush YouTube Channel.

Streaming daily on his Discord server, Patrick creates unique 3D food renders in real time, later showcasing them as his daily Instagram reels. Also... we throw in a challenge! Patrick 4D is tasked with creating one of his 3D food renders within just 10 minutes, and he does not disappoint!

This episode provides valuable insights into achieving success as a 3D artist, building an online community through social media, and mastering the art of photorealistic 3D modelling and texturing.
