Drafting Table Project

great illustrations - i'd buy it!

[Dave R]

Thank you Mirjman and Modelhead. So you need a SketchUp model of a drafting table?

Fortunately or unfortunately, I won't be building this. My client will.

[Gus R]

Nice. Is that a Borco cover I see on there?

[cheffey]

Beautiful job Dave! I love the storage for the extra legs. I'd love to have one of these, but haven't got a place to put it.

Thank you. It is or else it's green laminate.

Cheffey, Thank you. I wish I had room, too.

[Stinkie]

Looks good. Simple, yet very effective. I'd love to see this rendered.

[Dave R]

Thanks Stinkie. Maybe when I get a few minutes to play, I'll try it. I want to see it rendered in wood.

Here it is with the drawer pulls and plugs for the bed bolts.

Gawgeous!

[cheffey]

I dunno about rendering it, that style suits a drafting table perfectly.

[Stinkie]

True, but I was thinking of a render without texture maps (some colors and reflection only), and a subtle SU line overlay. Nothing too photoreal.

[Bryan K]

Very nice.

Funny thing, though, my jaw about bounced off the floor when I saw it. That looks like the drafting tables we had in high school!

You brought back some fun memories.

[Dave R]

ecofeco, glad to bring back a nice memory.

Stinkie, this may be too photo real but here is a quick render.

[Stinkie]

It's a good start, I'd say. Don't think you need the room, though. This seems to be one of those cases where less is more.

Ooooh. Niiicccee.
