I liked the "splayed" feet on the box, as sketched, better :-).  cheers.

Ha ha! I begin to feel like a fly myself!

Something I notice is the high polish/reflectiveness of the workbench. I 
would expect it to be more rugged, roughed, tarnished, with burned spots 
(soldering gun!) chipped.... certainly not varnished like this. This 
looks like my dining-room table (without the flies) ;-)

Otherwise, well done and nice progress.

Actually, with the green molding, the hardwood planks, and the single overhead
light, I got the distinct impression that this was on the floor, not on a table.

But the texture of the floor is very impressive - interesting radial scratches
and smear of green paint.  That _has_ to be done with an image_map.  :O

Thanks. I think I need to beef-up the toes and flare them out some. That was my
first pass.
Mike.

Thanks Thomas.
I agree. It looks more like a polished floor or table, not an old work bench.
I'll drop the reflection down and look at adding more distressed marks as I
progress.

Thanks, it is reading more floor than table. I may drop the molding as I work on
the wall detail (outlet plug, tool rack). Yes, it's an image map. :) I have many
materials that include a 'roughness or metallic map' for controlling the
reflections in a PBR environment. I'm struggling to get that look of dull and
reflective on the same surface. A multi layered material is probably the best
solution for that.

Table/floor whatever, that is a great wood texture. Looking forwards to all the
Mike Miller 2.0 images coming our way.

Attached is my current massing for the workbench space. Not much detail yet. I
plan to model a breaker panel, conduit pipes, receptacles, loss wires,.. I hope
once I position the camera showing the bench edge, it will read less like a
floor. I might covert the wall unit to peg board to sell the concept.
Mike.
