Nov/Dec - Noob - Pursuiter

Thought I'd have a go at this competition. I decided to do a toy pooltable that I have. Not too complex but it's enough for me.

A picture of what I have so far:

Great to see you join in .

A little comment if you don't mind is that you might find it easier later when texturing ect to make the cushions a seperate piece of geometry.

A good start though ..keep it up.

jsprogg: Considering my previous attempts at texturing i'll probably do like you said. Yay for simplicity. :attn:

More comments are all welcome. I'll update in an hour or two.

Followed a good rendering tutorial and decided to try it on my pooltable. Still got lots of modelling to do, but I wanted to see what MR can do and it is just amazing. user added image
