Desk
 

I'm bored so I decided to model for no reason at all, starting with what I see right in front of me..my desk..not sure how far I will go with this.

That looks about the same size and shape (though not style) of my desk. Actually, that one looks a bit bigger. Model your computer for reference!

another update...stuff on desk is just place holders for size ref...just blocking things out.

waiting for updates......

You always amaze me with such a detail work.

Good job buddy :beer:

...

just in case anyone wanted a close up. Not too much detail since it won't be too close to the camer in the final render.

:beer:

can i see some wires mate?
Specifically i'd like to see the wires for the computer around the usb ports, and the i think its a mirror frame?, or maybe its a picture frame.....
Though all any others you feel free to show are welcome..
I like your work mate, Just want to get an idea of your work flow also if i might?

@legendofzombi: I'll post some wires for you. This project is just something for when I get board. So every now and then I just sit down and do a quick model of something near me without trying to be too perfect or too detailed.

Hi Perfecto
Your model is looking nice, how you do such good work in such a short time amazes me. dave

Thx daverave, I've been doing modeling for 3 years. At first I was pretty slow. But after 3 years of doing nothing but modeling, the pace picks up pretty good.

On the other hand, I've done almost no texturing which means it would take me a long time to texture something that someone else would consider simple. I don't even really know how to uv map yet.

I think that is it time, im lucky if I spend 30 min a day doing modelling thats why my take so long to do, price of having a large family. only another 12 year then they will have left school LOL

Sigh...I can't render out the whole scene. Smoothed, I have 1.4mil polys. Once I hit about 1.2 mil..my computer can no longer render without crashing. :(

I love your work perfecto, was wondering what happened to your set driven key tutorial on youtube? I had that saved as it came in handy but I don't see it anymore.

Should give texturing a shot, your models looks awesome I can just imagine how good they'd be if your texturing was up to date with it.

Keep up the good work :beer:

Thanks Rhetoric Camel. Sorry bout the tutorial, I'll see if I can find it and put it back up.

I am going to start learning how to texture very soon. I just need to find a good starting book. I bought "Advanced Maya Texturing and Lighting" by Lee Lanier hoping I'd be able to figure it out but it's just too advance for me. The book seems like it requires some basic or intermediate knowledge that I just don't have. I'll be looking for a beginner texturing book.

Thanks for the wires mate..
Good clean model, i like it.

Thanks legendofzombi.

Well, looks like I'm back in business. I changed 3 corners of the mirror to instances and now I can render the scene again.

Only one complaint now...
I'm in the process of designing a new home theater / computer desk layout for my bedroom ( I use computer for dvd player, music, ect on at the moment a 32 inch HD tv, will soon be two 32 inch set up as Dual monitors on the computer )...
I'm modeling it all in maya, to get the visual and see how it will look, But, i am just using primitives to scale, Not actually modeling anything to look aesthetically pleasing.....

Now when i post it on her,e to get opinions and ideas...you'll make mine looks bad ;)
LoL

legend you are sad ..lol just kidding mate ..get some work up so we can see it ..hehe

great work Perfecto as usual , once you learn to texture i think you've arrived ...
Nice and clean meshes with some tricky modeling.

Nice modelling

good clean model....... texturing this shouldnt be too hard considering there wont be any hand painted textures

Thanks murambi. I do plan on giving texturing a try on this one so I hope it goes decently. The desk is almost done. I just need to model the mouse, fix the floating pen, adjust the paper and I'm considering modeling a fan. Once that's finished, I'll be modeling some walls and doors, couch and entertainment center which will all be reflections in the mirror.

If it gets to be too much geometry for my computer to handle..I'll render out the entertainment center and stuff and then just use the render as the texture for the mirror reflection. I'll probably end up modeling my whole living room though.

I hurt my back a little yesterday so I probably won't be posting any updates for a few days as I recouperate.
