sigh Wish I was there!

Thanks Bryan....

faust07, my mother would have beat me if I got crumbs on the floor , played a card game called rummy as a child ?

Thanks Mike Amos, no worries, I in depth appraise myself into the ground...

Thanks for your feedback tuna, I was a bit worried that I had offended you somehow. It was a critic wich sole intention was for you to be able to get an even better model.

I've struggled against such things recently and was only able to do it with the help of blender, substance designer and a lot of trial and error as I have never used subd or artisan plugins.

Thanks Daniel. Yeah a little dark , was sort of what I was shooting for actually. Don't know why but if you click on the small image to view full size it doesn't look quite as dark as the small sized image . Still plan on running some new views and when time allows.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Don't want to piss off the cat fans, I'll just say I'm not a fan. Think Rich is on to something, the perfect multi-use table !

Too bad they do not build them like that anymore, here in Texas there was a builder called Fox and Jacobs that had a few models just like that late 60's -70's.

Massimo , Was able to extract the .png file out the .skm file using SU material edit . Converted to RGB in Gimp. Have no bloody clue how to get the converted .png back into .skm ? Imported the converted image into a test model and it rendered fine. Thanks for your help. 👍

Thanks Doug , Yeah I'm pretty stuck on the mid century stuff. Dream home would be a renovated Eichler that's full of cool vintage furnishings....... I can dream....

HornOxx , thank you very much.

Rich , appreciate your input. I'll have you know I never buy irregular oranges 😆 . actually never occurred to me to ovate their shapes a little. as for stems oops they have no stems 😞 . I was shooting for a high glaze ceramic look on the bowl and canisters, but I have a noise map I got from the Twilight forum that I'll give a try on the canisters , sort of a side by side comparison. thanks much for the positivity and the critique. chuck.

Thanks David. Your correct the doors operate like a roll top desk. Only difference is they slide horizontal, operation and construction is basically the same. Surprisingly enough on the original pieces the doors slid real easy. They were pretty high quality stuff, solid teak. Wish I had them now. Chuck.

Dave, Thanks, I get the other stuff to do. Sometimes doesn't seem like there's enough hours does it ? Took the raw render into Gimp and ran the "Colorize" tool, played with the settings a little in there. Then tweaked Hue & Saturation levels a little. Chuck.

Thanks pbacot, I did download majid's ice textures just haven't had a chance yet to work with them. Hope to this week.

thanks Bob. don't know about the clever part, more like happy accident.

solo, I guess I can post the model for a fellow "exile in texas". texture job was the best I could do with thru paint. model was meant to replicate a fiberglass taxidermy mount. have fun with it. Only fooled around for 15-20 mins to get the image I posted. Going to try and play with it some more. Lets see what somebody who's REALLY good can do.

Dave your so right about the pricing. Pieces that were more mass market still can be found at reasonable prices but if it's by one of the top manufacturers with attributes to one of the top designers of the era your wallet will take a beating.

thanks for the thumb HornOxx. Yeah between liking to fly fish and my weird job I know a little too much about fish I think.....

DavidH , many thanks.

Pilou , Yes it's typical of 50's - 60's mid century modern style. Not a copy of one particular chair. combined elements of the arm from two different chairs I've seen.

Thanks Dave. Yeah those are some pretty nice styles , not surprised you use them too ! I think Sketcher is similar to
Fotosketcher. Use it because they have a mac version, Fotosketcher doesn't.

Forgot to mention the grain in the wood is mostly from the texture. It's out of Rich's npr woodgrain pac and the
seat cushion texture is from Rich's npr fabric pac. Thanks Rich !

Daniel, Agree with your comments about the textures. Still struggling with the u.v. mapping stuff. Thankfully all presentations are n.p.r. and I don't have to hit 100% accuracy in the textures. The assets are mainly about working out relationships in space. Also timelines can be tight. As for organics out of you league, I've seen enough of your posted models, you do excellent work. If you needed to do the organic stuff I'm sure you would figure it out.
