Live Edge Slab
-
This is a bench with a claro walnut live edge slab for the seat. I drew the slab at the request of a woodworker who wanted to know if it could be done. I guess it can be. Actually, thanks to TIG's Image Trimmer, it's a walk in the park.

Very nice.

And a good tutorial about using the plug-in on the "Design.Click.Build" blog on finewoodworking.com.

Dave - a great "walk in the park"!
Thanks Cotty for this Explanation link.
Thanks Tig, again for this very useful tool.
(I did not recognize this great "Image Trimmer" feature so far) -
Thank you all.
-
Masterful as usual Dave. Can't tell you all I have learned from you.
Thanks -
beautiful!
-
So realistic! And pretty too. How did you render it?
-
Thank you, gentlemen.
Dale, surely you can tell. It isn't a secret.
Peter, the rendering was done in Kerkythea. The "set" is just a large rectangle. No walls or ceiling. Two lights inserted via SU2KT. I used a plastic material preset to get the glossiness of the wood and I used the texture for the slab as a bump map and set the strength to 0.25. It's probably wrong but whenever I want to add a little bump, I just use the texture image for the map. Seems to work fine. Rendered at preset 7 or 8. I forget which. Easy setup and quick render.
