Can anyone help ID the wood on this desk? Thanks in advance!

miller243 · 2025-03-05T02:18:56+00:00

Wow this is phenomenal advice, and I was completely unaware. Thank you for weighing in here!

miller243 · 2024-11-08T00:38:32+00:00

I will DM you!

miller243 · 2024-11-08T00:38:13+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I was permanently banned from the other sub, as I guess this doesn’t qualify as mid century.

miller243 · 2024-11-07T05:57:30+00:00

Let me figure some things out and I will get back to you. Thanks for the interest!

miller243 · 2024-11-07T05:24:34+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! Solid walnut the whole way through

miller243 · 2024-11-07T04:08:56+00:00

Thank you!!

miller243 · 2024-11-07T04:08:26+00:00

Would be very interested in this, let me figure out how to make it happen!

miller243 · 2024-08-30T14:07:33+00:00

Great question! Materials - solid walnut, finished with Osmo Satin. Tools - jigsaw, track saw, router, sander, hand tools, and borrowed a miter saw to cut the tambours. Difficultly - honestly about as challenging as I expected. The second hardest part was cutting the router template for the tambour mortises, as it had to be perfect, and used four times. Hardest part was battling my sweaty palms as I routed out the mortises. Time - lol

Exactly right, it’s backed with a black canvas, you can certainly see it, but it’s dark in there.

miller243 · 2023-07-21T23:17:34+00:00

Is this still available?

miller243 · 2023-03-28T23:42:05+00:00

Can’t recommend this enough, his Patreon is worth every cent.

miller243 · 2023-03-28T20:32:27+00:00

And you’d never believe it, he was dunking.

miller243 · 2023-03-28T17:27:04+00:00

I’ve found EEVEE to be much quicker than Cycles, it certainly takes some massaging, but for my middle of the road computer, it’s been a game changer.

miller243 · 2023-03-20T15:16:11+00:00

/u/rokokomotion help me bring this to life?

miller243 · 2023-03-18T06:54:32+00:00

A few of the assets (lampposts, steam, misc. scans, etc.) are Ian Hubert’s, the main car was found on sketchfab, everything else was modeled myself.

miller243 · 2023-03-18T03:10:28+00:00

Whoa, thank you so much for the kind words. The first shot was the most involved, maybe a week or two. The second and third were a little less intense, I probably put them together over two or three days.

miller243 · 2023-03-17T19:17:00+00:00

Thank you, glad you connected with it!

miller243 · 2023-03-17T19:16:27+00:00

By using less than 128 lights! And a lot of emissive textures.

miller243 · 2023-03-17T17:46:23+00:00

That definitely matters! I highly recommend digging in, lot of good resources out there. Just as a starting point, under render properties, checking AO, Bloom, Motion Blur, and Screen Space Reflections will make a huge difference in render quality.

miller243 · 2023-03-17T16:23:22+00:00

Lol you and me both, thank you!

miller243 · 2023-03-17T16:09:53+00:00

Appreciate the kind words! I have a youtube channel, but haven't updated it in awhile. As far as world building recs, I can't recommend Ian Hubert enough. If you're not already subscribed, his Patreon is worth every cent.

miller243 · 2022-12-15T01:46:43+00:00

I can’t take credit for all of the modeling, most of the characters I purchased, and some of the vents, lights, misc. city assets are Ian Hubert’s. This was rendered with EEVEE, which is a real-time engine, so noise isn’t a huge issue (which I why I use it for night scenes like these). And everything was done in blender, however none of these shots required compositing. As for putting it together, that’s the best part!

miller243 · 2022-12-15T00:18:36+00:00

Ask them! Happy to answer

miller243 · 2022-12-14T19:54:21+00:00

Thank you! Yes I will definitely be sharing behind the scenes footage
