Display cabinet
-
Yeah, sure, I suffered a lot with the nested part of it (3 or 4 depth). Also, I experience some weird edges emerging (see the attached file above) that I couldn't see on ModelHead's render.
-
I also seen that some of the glass has a texture to the backside of the same face. I would say explode to you get back to single groups and redo the glass. Do not group the whole model. Save with all single groups and reopen the model and send to render. You should be alright then.
-
Modelhead, I'm attaching a picture of Wenge wood. The finish is to be semi-gloss (50/50 gloss to matt).
Sorry if all the nested groups are a problem. When I was just starting out in SU I was traumatised by things sticking to one another and distorting etc. and I read Ross's artical about grouping everything and it became second nature. Normally the abundance of groups makes my life easier rather than more difficult. I find it makes my models extremely managable. Not using rendering software I had no Idea it would cause problems.
Sorry

Gidon. Im newbie with SU, Rener & forum, i dont know if im repeating this post because i tray in two other opportunity, but i want you to say the Display cabinet is a nice model, i have fun rendering it in podium. I made some of your group as component and flipped in that way is more easy change texture, there are a good tutorials in go-2-school.com some are special for you, teaching how improve the tools in SU to make cabinet.
I do this just for fun, as a banking worker i dont have time to play with tose wonderful tools, as you do.

Gaieus, I never learned how to speak Hungarian let alone spell it. But I did learn how to cook Hungarian food. Anyone who is not familliar with Hungarian food is missing a whole world of delight! Even simple dishes like (I don't know how to spell it ) Kapostash Kotzka, or Mackosh and of course Goulash!. My mouth is watering just thinking about it
Káposztás kocka, mákos tészta, gulyás...
(although many probably don't know that we mean a kind of soup by goulash - not what the whole world misznderstands).anyway, Gidon, no problem with grouping but so many depths of nested groups! And I'd1ve also used components instead - as Charevir says - and it would spare you a lot in file size, too.
But for now I'm not changing too much (again) but that texture you provided seems much more fun than the cork one... -
Modelhead, the material is a photo of Wenge wood, I got from google images. It's just to give an idea of what the grain and hue of Wenge looks like. I wouldn't want you to go to too much trouble with trying to get it exactly like the grain in the photo. I'm sure you've got better things to do. As to how the scene is to be set up, well it's a work in progress. There a a couple of pieces that I still have to model for the client and then we will be moving them around and playing with the shop lay-out. As soon as we're satisfied with the picture as a whole I'll post it.
I showed the client the renderings that have been posted and I think he may have to have stiches on his chin from the way his jaw dropped in disbelief when he saw them.
Thanks guys! -
These just keep gettin' better and better...'cept I've been craving chocolate all week!
-
Really getting better, Bruce! Obviously this material is way better fit than that light one did. And the reflections are nice, indeed!
-
Bruce, that's beautiful. A couple of things I should mention:
- The finish on the piece will be semi-gloss so it's surfaces wont be as reflective as those in the picture.
- The floor is Travertine marble, also semi gloss and less reflective.
This is in no way a reflection on your excelent rendering work.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun

That's a "pun upon a pun..."

Bruce hi, I should have all the pieces ready in a few days. It's an on-going process as the client had only a general idea of what he wants and we're basically making it up as we go along. But it's getting there.
I can't wait to see what you'll do with it (drooooool!!) -
OK Bruce, you asked for it!
Here is the complete shop, or rather the shop with all the units that I planned and placed. Of course, there will be other things in the shop but I haven't the time (nor the skill) to model them all.
Just a point or two if I may:- The wood is to be a dark stained Oak in a semi gloss finish.
- the floor is a light beige matte tile 50cm x 50cm.
- The walls are a grayish stucco.
- The marble work top on the unit behind the glass partition is a slab of white Travertine marble with delicate gray veins.
- The temperature is kept to a constant 64.5degs Faranheit, though how you can render the temperature is beyond me.
It's all yours.
(I can't wait!) -
Bruce, that's definately the right direction. Let me post pictures of Wenge wood and Travertine marble (it's a slab of marble, not tiles. One solid 2cm thick slab). I'm guessing you can use the JPEG for the rendering work. Or is that just in SU? I'm a complete ignoramus when it comes to rendering programs.
By the way, speaking of 'ignoramus':
Do you know what an ignoranus is?
It's some who is both ignorant and an arse-hole .
-
Bruce hi, the marble goes on the unit in the attached jpeg.
Thanks a bunch, Bruce .
-
Oooops! I'm sorry! I was sure that I'd posted the file of the entier shop and I see now that I haven't.
So here is the file. All the pieces are there and only the one in the previous post has the marble on it. The top work surface is the marble slab.

Hungary is such a small country, but there seem to be so many expatriots. What that fabulous cabinet needs, Gidon, is some Zserbo.

Uh, sorry. I don't know what Zserbo is.
-
Zserbo (as pronounced in Hungarian) but originally spellt as Gerbeaud. Try this link and their website.
The cake named after one of the later owners is made of thin layers of Linzer cake filled with apricot jam and ground wallnuts finally topped with some (black) chocolate sauce. Mostly served about 1 inch x 4 inch slices (but my mum makes much bigger pieces!
)One of my favourite pastries.
-
yes yes. that!
the most famous cafe in Budapest, very old and still there, is the Zserbo. I made a point of seeing it when I was backpacking through Europe too many years ago to count.
Okay, how about this, if you like szilva gombocs then you must of course like the dish that it accompanies: krumplis nudli. Long ago I wanted to surprise my parents and make all of that for dinner. My mother had a real Hungarian cookbook given to her and I searched in vain for the recipe. In fact it occured to me that there was not a single recipe for potatoes(krumpli) in the entire cookbook.
My mother informed me of just what a peasant I am, since everyone knows that the elegant name for potatoes is bourgonya
