Happy New Year ... Y'all

The vase and the roses came from the website I mentioned in one of my 
previous posts, but the table is mine. The legs were fun to do ... a 
stylized "S" of sorts made of cylinders following a natural spline, the 
rest pretty simple CSG. I had to use the spherical camera and some extra 
transformations (that I don't get yet) to get the table top to appear 
more round than oval for this camera angle (also wanted to get see the 
table legs) ... a little fallout though is the distortion with the 
appearance of the floor, but it kind of works!

I think it works.

I think it could use a little area light.

Nice!

Technical question: how is the glass fixed to the (metal) table? ;-)

it's not ... rests in the groove (outer ring) and on top of the table 
legs ... floating!

Dangerous, dangerous! Lots of broken glass and cut fingers in 
perspective... ;-)

Have you tried moving the camera further away and
reducing the angle instead?

Thud ... operator error! forgot to comment out some old code from

On that kind of table, the glass plate is almost always just placed on 
the metal frame. It's keep in place by it's weight alone.
