Thanks. I skipped a lot of steps but as most of it is simple cylinders, I didn't think each individual step was necessary.

Thanks. This is mostly a project to get 2015 set up and running. This is the first time I've used 2015 to make a model, so I needed to tweek and configure the preferences and learn where some of the setting controls moved to.

You would not believe how long I struggled with the new arc tools.

Final detail.

The little thin support rods for the shade were a pain. Who knew?

Next will be color and then final renders.

First render in Kerkythea. Looks terrible. This is why I need the upcoming book.
