As I said, I'm not really into making models - it's not fun for me. Shaders are fun and I think its just as cool to focus on this as to focus on modeling.
This "model" is a work in progress. It is just 4 Poser Box primitives. I like to work with boxes and spheres, and don't feel it's plagiaristic to use them just because a BILLION others just like it have been made from scratch.
Yet it has geometry that is more interesting than that. It's done with procedural displacement. And also the wood grain is 100% procedural. Notice that no two places look alike. I can't stand it when people just slap a texture file onto every face of a piece of furniture and you can see all the repetition. That's lame.
I still have a couple bugs to work out with the shader - I got multiple boards in a direction I did not intend to. But these issues will be worked out shortly, and then I'll post it for you all to download. Then you can do your "Poser" "art" and tell a story about illicit office sex if you like :biggrin:
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
