Ah, the newest look: only 2 legs! *(and it can use only 2!)


I figured the wall would hold up the back.

Now figure out how to make the bump map curved for the bamboo's nodes,
the knuckles.


I'm not sure I follow you here. *


Your bump map was only 3D in 2 dimensions. *Bamboo is curved, but your
node were flat on top. Note the nodes directly in line with the top of
the door pulls in wong2. The top of the nodes form rectangles which
are flat on top.http://fwd4.me/Clxflip the top pic sideways and
compare it to your finished bump map. See the curve on the nodes in
real bamboo? *It's too bad your bump map couldn't simulate that
portion, too, is what I was saying. *Close, but no cigar.

Very creative, Toy.


Why thank you, C-less. :-)*


Jewelcome.

I love that goldy-red countertop. *Wild! *Brand and color?


That red ishttp://www.hanstoneusa.com/colors
Passion Red. The 'goldy' look is a incandescent light-balance issue.


Ooh, the Mystic Blue is hot, too. *

So, how fast do you go through router bits when cutting that crap with
the CNC, anyway?


Goodness, no. I don't do big cuts in quartz on my CNC. That takes 10
HP, $ 3000.00 diamond bit-sets, a LOT of water and water treatment
facilities. Not only way out my league financially, but also not even
close to my radar screen. I'd need a forklift, loading dock, a beam
saw etc.
