I've been using 3ds Max since about version 4 or so. No real training, not much time on it, but I love it. I usually only do tutorials just because of the learning curve. I'm about at intermediate levels for the tutorials, but I still like the n00bie ones. I'm a big CorelDRAW fan been using that around version 5 or 6. I wish I could combine the two, CorelDRAW keyboard commands suck compared to 3ds. Well other than that I will be here to idle, I am an expert at it! hehe

Yeah the top of the table looks like doodie when close up or at a different angle, somehow it got all wavey and rippled. Not sure how it happened. This is modeled after my "Real" kitchen table I'll post pics.

Oh another quick thing, I only use the vanilla version of 3dsMax 9, no plug-ins, no add-ons, they are just too darned expensive!

impressive! One thing, if you want to make it more like the one in real life, just add a Planar UVW map to the top.. that would make the texture flat.. but, I like your render better than the actual real table, hahahaha!

The model is very similar to the table, Good work

Everything has some beauty but not everyone is able to see it (Confucius)

Great work. yeah I think if the grain was all going in the same direction like the photo it would look a bit too flat, not as realistic, artististic license I say.
