I am trying to learn SU and rendering simultaniously. I modeled some items in the scene. Below is the scene (will attempt to render in THEA) that includes the napkin that Alan so kindly gave. I tried to modify it a little, to make it a more complex, but decided that what Alan did was more than good enough for what I am trying to do.
Below is a foto of one last thing I would like to do for the scene if I can. I have a painted prototype plate etc. that I would like to have produced as a complete set. What I would like to do is get the painted plate pattern onto the plate etc. for inclusion in the scene. Can anyone direct me to some tuts that might show a best way to get the pattens on a plate and cup.
Also below is the home I designed and plan to build. I have included this in order to ask a question. In this thread Alan mentioned faces that can, if excessive, cause problems. Elsewhere I often see mention of excessive poly's slowing down the efficient usage of SU. My question is: If I continue to load up every room in this model as I am doing in the foyer-dining room am I likely to have difficulty later. If so, what might be a better approach. In total I envision doing a walk-thru but if I never get that far I would like to at least model all rooms, in one model, for multiple render studies.
Anyone want to play with putting a roof on this form? I have one worked out in CAD working drawings but would enjoy seeing what others might do with the form.
