Today I would like you to make a table using the legs you built.
- First, make sure the legs are long enough for a proper table. Dining table legs are typically about 29" (inches) and coffee tables or end tables are much shorter.
- Put a box on top of four table legs. The box (table top) can be square or rectangular. Make it at least a couple inches thick -- but remember that dining tables are typically 29-30" tall.
- Try a FilletEdge command.
- Type FilletEdge and press Enter
- Set the fillet number to 1 at first.
- Select all four top edges of the table top.
- Press Enter
- If the table "blows up" (goes all crazy) do an Undo (CTRL+Z) and try again with a smaller number.
- If the table isn't filleted (rounded) enough, do an Undo (CTRL+Z) and try again with a larger number.
- Add textures, gloss, bumpmaps (if necessary)
- Add a floor:
- Scroll/Zoom out in your TOP viewport
- Select the Box tool and make a box large enough to be a floor (maybe a couple inches thick)
- Add textures, gloss, bumpmaps (if necessary)
- Add some items (i.e. goblet, vase, plates, bowls, etc.) to the top of the table.
- Add some spotlights at different angles to add interest to the scene
