Wow just freaking Wow !! Love the texture job !

Really nice! and I love how you did the texture and how it all came out. Is the lighting an effect of the original photo or added spot lights in the render?

davidheim1

Thanks, gents.
For the render, I placed spotlights at several places to try to illuminate the gallery and the crown molding, and to light up the lower portion of the case lest it be hidden in shadow. I also had to dial back the settings for the textures; I made them too reflective at first. The light still looks a little hot on the top of the case, but I'm not sure I want to fiddle with the render any more.

Looks, well........ masterful David, absolutely masterful

I love it. That piece is so useless to me and yet I really want one, just to watch it.

L i am: I'm not sure about the masterful part, but I'm pretty satisfied with the model.
Nlipovac: When I saw the listing for the original, I imagined that it was meant for a gentleman who lived in rented rooms, like Sherlock Holmes on Baker Street, and needed both a secretary and a dresser. The piece also appears to be more utilitarian than fancy-schmancy. It's made of oak, rather than mahogany, and except for the molding details on the upper case, it's pretty plain. And after nearly 200 years of use, it looks pretty banged up.

Sometimes!?, eye meets with something that makes it cheerful and heart responds to it, most of the time for me it is a design of a chair that make that impression on me, but this time it was this piece.
I do like what you design and post here but this one is just a bit over them.

Many thanks, nlipovac.
