Thanks Mike. I'll need to go back in the model and check the bricks.... thought I scaled them right... probably forgot.. 😲

Why don't you post it in the main gallery?

Thanks liam, and if your referring to the monolith excavation site on the moon , it;s on the to do list at some point.

pbacot, The rock and dirt textures I got from the "Textures.com" site. The sky is a low res HDRI. I think I got that at "CG Skies". Also do my own bump and reflective maps for a lot of the stuff I use. The apes are just 2D cut outs.

Nice!

Dave , Doug. Thanks gents.

Dave R, Checked the link... that's one cool sideboard 👍

jtrl, Thanks. Have no clue how originals were made. Worked off a small photo I found on the net. Photo gave the credit to Wormley.

Very nice!

kenancakir, Solo, Thanks for the input. The post pro side is probably my weakest area right now. Appreciate the help. 👍

Thanks David. The back piece was the only thing to give me a little trouble. Got the basic shape drawn flat and bent the curve with shape bender. Ran into trouble trying to use RoundCorner on the bent shape. Couldn't get it to work on the bent shape without destroying the geometry no matter how large I scaled it up. Ended up backtracking and running RoundCorner on the flat piece and then bending with ShapeBender.

jtri, thanks and good luck with your endeavors with Layout.

Mike A. Thank you sir.

You could call it a credenzette.

I like it 😆 ! Thanks David 👍

Oh, those Brits! I had a hunch you were duplicating the grain orientation on the original. Still, nice job.
Best,

Thanks Mr Dave.

Thanks David and yes it's pretty odd, I think that's why I had to spin out a model....

I wanted to know what was going on under the table, of course, and whether he was still uncorking the bottle... 💚

JQL, HornOxx, Really appreciate your comments and input. Plan to mess about with this as time allows, it's good practice I think. HornOxx the background is part of the HDRI. Think the scene would look a little better with a cityscape view out the windows......

Thanks Mike A. and you are right models like this always look their best when shown in context...

Just a quick aside, I am forever being told that when I go for darker shots, they should be brightly lit. Seems folk just do not understand.

Thanks Paul, and sorry I didn't have your brand on hand......
