I combined the two here.

You should start competing with Dale Chihuly for creative glass work.

Looks like a great table. From the picture it looks like it is inside will it be used there? What kind of wood did you use? Our backyard table is a year or two from needing replacing...

Saw this one in the 3d Warehouse

They say people with glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I think that they also say "make sure you have good fences so your neighbours don't have to watch you run naked to the hot tub / pool".

Looks like a fun model, was thinking if the second story balcony extended over the deep end of the pool it could make for some fun times.

I really think that near puddle looks great. Well done!

Actually I think the whole image looks great...

These look great I have 0 rendering experience, yet, so my comment comes with no expertise.

It seems the nearest puddle is sitting above the level of the concrete as opposed to having the liquid flow into the depression it would find on an unlevelled surface. I think the added 'viscosity' is related to the reflected light coming from the closest puddles near left edge, as opposed to it sitting level with the concrete. Maybe the water that would flow through this space would have some added grit and be 'less clear' after seeping through the ground or running off down the stairs... not sure if that would effect how natural the water looks to the eye...

These are mere observations as I have no clue how you can change it

Maybe I should start reading a rendering manual...

Just something I banged out today. All I need are some spline ducks and I'm set.

Looks great Dave. I like the line style.

I had to Google "Spline Ducks" http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/03/r/articles/splineducks/splineDucks.htm, wasn't sure if they were related to Mallards.

I know very little about Pittsburgh, but am a huge fan of Sydney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

BallHog?

Ball Hog it is... Or Hog in the ball (Hoggin' the Ball)

@rpaul said:

Might it be "Pigskin" as in football? And the plane with a thought might be the new "Dreamliner" from Boeing?

Nope not pig skin.

Hint 3 - It is a negative sports term.

Shall I give some clues regarding this swine contained by a sphere?

Yes, Jon, unless it's something as simple as "A ball of swine," we probably do need another clue or two.

@lucifer1101 said:

is it Hemishere LOL!!

Nope but that is also a good one!

Clue 1 was - a swine contained in a sphere
Clue 2 is - It is has a connection to sports...

I am not the best modeller, but, I don't think it's that bad

Shall I give some clues regarding this swine contained by a sphere?

@cameronvan said:

Does the makeup of the irregular polygon that surrounds the pig model have anything to do with the answer? Is it made of Q-tip pieces?

No the makeup of the sphere that it is in has no impact.

I saw someone who had swine flu yesterday at lunch

He was covered in rashers

Is it Pigs in blankets? (sausages wrapped in bacon mmmmm bacon)

Nope not Pigs in a blanket and that Hog isn't Canadian...

She said she caught me watching that pig in the bath, I said "That's Hogwash!"

@solo said:
