Modelling Exercise: Wooden Table

A modelling exercise of a table. This exercise is especially helpful for beginners like me. Other simple exercises include glasses, columns, arches and others that has simple geometry.

Lighting still needs a lot of work. Currently, the lights are so strong that the object appears white rather than show off the wood texture and glossy shader.

Tips are always welcome.

Stereogram Lesson

If you're still having difficulty in viewing stereograms and the next guy annoyingly says "I bet you can't see the horse hidden in the pattern."

Fear not for you will learn how to view this hidden image. I've previously blogged about how to view stereograms but a Youtube user Eternacht503 made a video explaining the nitty-gritty of stereograms and how to view them.

Keep practicing and one day you'll get to see the image behind the patterns.

Good luck!
