Low Table

[JeZ]

Hi gang,
This is a new WIP of mine.

This table is already built and looking pretty in my client's living room. When I was there, I grabbed my camera and found I forgot my memory card in my card reader.

A bit of background: This a rather classic shape, but I am very happy with the shape and look. The top is made of medium gray quartz and the base is natural varnished walnut.

The walnut texture is american walnut from Arroway. I heavily modified the color/lightness/contrast to match the color and feel of my varnished walnut. I am very happy with it. The stone material is nothing close to quartz... I am rendering right now a new version with a somewhat better stone mat. I havent been able to find any proper quartz countertop texture, whatever the color.

Dont hesitate to C&C.

true, looks nothing like any quartz I know of.
Hope you can find a sample (visit nearby stone/counter top provider with your camera in a pocket?)
my quick web search yielded little.

yeah...

There are small pictures on every quartz manufacturers' website, but not quite tilable. I guess I will need to bit the bullet and fix manually one of those.

I did download Pixplant demo and it seams very good for that kind of texture, but I am not quite sure I am willing to pay 200$ for it...

my second attempt.
I guess it will be exposed aggregate concrete for a while...

I will need to fix that strange dark line on the left leg

Thanks I'll check that out.

Meanwhile I found that quartz manufacturer:

There are nice and big images of all of their colors (not tileable...)

I've had some luck with Imageafter in the past, but not with this one.

Cambria is the best!

They have that scroll viewer thingy on their website. If you right click -> open image, it becomes big and gorgeous. I made "seamless" a couple of them.

I guess I cant share my modified versions...
