This is an actual polaroid snapshot of
an end view of our dining room table. I made the above model of our dining room
table to see if I could actually model a real life object to scale. Though it seems
to be an awe inspiring project for a beginning modeller such as myself, it was not too
difficult once I broke it down into it's component parts. The table is composed of
eleven different component parts which I have kept grouped together rather than joining
them at when finished. It would have been quicker and easier to apply the same
woodgrain textures and attributes to a single object, but the grain runs in different
directions on all the different pieces of wood. The diagram below shows each of the
parts. The individual diagrams are not to scale as I preferred to have a more
accurate ( larger ) diagram of each object. The links at the end of this page will
show in more detail how I created each component part.
