A minor suggestion @ design: what about carrying the curve of the leg all the way to the short support pieces that hold the top, as if the "leg" were one long piece?

Doesn't show well above but it is one leg with a continuation of the curve.

@ Dave, now you mention it the legs do seem a bit unsubstantial, I will play with it.

Thanks Cotty.

Roland and Dave, re: materials, that's all getting way too complicated for me. Tho those 'plank' materials sound interesting, something for the SU shop perhaps?

PB, used 'round corner' in SU. Forgive my ignorance but know nothing of 'bevel routine'.

Garry, latest version of pro, probly messed about for an hour, did 5 renders to get here. Passes? sorry don't remember, but I rarely go past using high+.

Cheers all, Baz
PS: Here is a limed version, same model.

A bedside table design I am thinking of making a pair of. Tho I consider myself a newbie at rendering, I was quite happy with how this came out.
I think having done a bit of studio photography in the past helps.

Happy to take C&C's

A workaround is to explode the dimension, but then of course it is un-editable.

Edit: Actually just realized that it is still editable but as separate entities.

Beautiful pieces. If you are just constructing them ....wow!! If you designed them then double wow. I would much enjoy seeing them in there final place when that happens.

Thanks for all your kind comments.
Design them? Interesting question that. It comes up all the time in my work for architects and interior or landscape designers.

Here is all I got from the client for these two tables.
So the concept wasn't mine, but the rest?

Looks good, how about a large wall to wall mirror behind the desk? Would throw some light around and feel less crowded.
Also, how did you get image swap happening?

First off, don't bother opening the images, they are the same size as you see now.

Just completed 8 large pieces for a new golf club, mostly hand laid veneer on ply and MDF substrates. Had to build a vacuum bagging unit to do the curved work. Took 6 days a week for 12 weeks. Crap photos but will take forever to get some decent finished shots.
SU was a godsend as usual, especially for the CNC work and the curved molds.
Cheers
Baz.

Thanks, will put that one down to experience.

The skp face me components are installed by the lib.thea in the same directory as the Thea proxies.
If you place a proxy the face me component will appear as a preview in SketchUp.

Bugga, I don't use thea, I was just wanting the skp.

Just bought the pack from the store, but there is no skp file in there?

to keep a low level of water in place.

Not a good idea Mike, perfect incubation for mosquito larvae. In any case one would assume high spec insulation everywhere.

We have 'Pay and Wave' in Oz. Present your card to a 'Reader', no pins, no signature, easy and v convenient. ($100 limit tho).
I've had the same fifteen dollars (analogue) in my wallet for about 10 days now. It seems the only time I use cash is in a cafe or bar nowadays.

@ Mike. 'The burgers are better at Hungry Jacks' You have them in GB?, they are betterer.
They say that Mcdonalds is like masturbation.. everybody does it, but no one admits to it.
