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

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... [image: shjB_Corkscrew_21.gif]

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......

Thanks HornOxx. You are right about knowing when to stop adding the small stuff into a model. I'm use to doing images that are pretty "over the top". , had to keep reminding myself not to do too much on this. Doubt I'll be revisiting this it was pretty much a "one and done" deal.

garystan, Mike A. , Thanks gents...

One of my earliest SU models for the museum project I was on. Went back in to it an re-rendered it. Swapped native SU materials for better textures I've amassed over time. Brought in some better Form Font trees. Structure design is in keeping with the overall theme of this area of the project. It's main purpose was to hide a mass of aquarium plumbing, electrical and HVAC stuff that ran down the wall. Small metal structure attached is a place marker for a proposed songbird aviary. It got "value engineered" down to the size of a garden shed ! [image: 9D5T_birdhouse_final_small.jpg]

@tuna1957 said: Dave R, thanks. Find your comment about the radius on the verticals interesting. First version of this I had smaller radius, after looking at it a bunch decided to increase them..... must be a tomato, tomatoe thing. Cherry tomato vs. beefsteak tomatoe I really liked the render!

pbacot, thanks for the positive comments.

Paul's Moose?? - 100 % for sure, that´s Paul's Moose!!

Bryan, Mike, thanks gentlemen.l

Thank you for the responses. The moose will need to be pretty much perfect. It will be front and center above a fireplace in a photo real render. I am doubtful I have the skills to properly map a photo onto a moose head model. I am thinking I may need to photoshop an image into the final render. Maybe use a moose head model in the render so it casts shadows and then overlay the "real" moose head image in photo shop...

thanks Bryan.
