How can I make my baseboards look, well, not so rounded. They arent round. They just look it. I am using lambert. Is there a better texture???

Dont give up on this one too dude LOL

Great Spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the person who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express their opinions courageously and honestly.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
Sir Winston Churchill

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

you might want to consider breaking the railing open at the ladder - a bit hard to get in without climbing over.

and the render looks fine, even with jpeg from maya. just keep in mind that it is still wip, and not a final render user added image

Yes. Thanks for that idea. I will try breaking the railing at the ladder, but I was making it based on my little brother's bed, on which the railing is not broken open. Yes, it is very hard to get out of.

hmmmmmm.........It is a little harder than I thought to break that railing. I tried, but it was a flop. Maybe later I will take my time and get it done, but for now I think ill leave it

nice lighting

are the railings NURBS? You can use the trim tool to get rid of the area you don't want, then put a cap of some sort over the ends with Surfaces>Planar or intersect a plane perpendicular to the rail and trim away the parts that you don't need.
