I've been playing with this model the past 4 days while my angelic pic is STILL rendering (it's on it's 4th day! arghh!, the only thing I added was "some" refraction. *g* and...) I've been taking it in and out of the modeller, fixed some bad vertices, and now I think that the ground model is looking OK. I'll have to fix the tables, they don't lool right. I'm not sure what they looked like, some respatex - simple things attached to the wall in one end, I'm thinking. Found a jukebox at 3Dcafe that will fit nicely in there. Will have to look for old fashioned coke bottles, - and what else needs to be there? What did they serve Hmm.. pies, icecream, hotdogs?? It also needs some additional posters and signs.. Hmm.. and that Cadilac outside, I guess?

Looks very 50's. A Cadilac would fit right in :) Reminds me of my favourite Dexters lab cartoon. How about adding earl and Dexters Father with a mechanical armwrestling arm. That would be fun :) It could use some personell and a bunch of truckers. Maybe put elvis somewhere eating a burger or something. Not as main focus, but somwhere in the BG as a little gag.

lol Elvis eating burgers, - yeah.. that would be fun!

Looks good. Tables could be wider, actually over the booth seats.

jasonmit; how did they get room for their legs? lol I'll have to take the benches and tables into poser, I think and see what I can get to fit :)

Look at where you're sitting now. Is the table or desk over your legs? It would most likely be too far away from you if it wasn't. Here are some reference photos.

The place looks good, but hows the food? :p

Jasonmit is right about the tables, but I'd say you have an excellent model here. I love your venetian blinds too!

"venetian blinds", I thought those where called "luxaflex"?

Great, reference pics! Thank you! Now I see what you mean! Only ONE center leg, that's also what looks wrong! Back to the saltmines in Amapi. lol Telson; I'f I'm not wrong, the food wasn't the most important things, but Hmm... I'll have to think about that one. Thanks, danamo. The ground model isn't mine, - the blinds came with that. It's a part of the large amount meshes that came with my very old 3D modeller, Simply 3D. I've ported them to .obj format, remodelled some things, and grouped/re-grouped, and re-grouped again in Amapi and UV-mapper. :)

Don't forget to serve up some milkshakes and banana splits.

Very cool modeling Britt. 8) That floor looks clean enough you could eat off it... lol Wade

wow britt, you have most of the basics for a 50's style diner/burger joint....I think a few chevys parked outside, some ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper containers....and ashtrays (remember this is back when they still allowed inside smoking heh) girls in poodle skirts, guys in leather jackets, or nerdie style clothes.....ummm....floor is lil too clean, might toss a few fries around.....umm lets see, oh yeah think they drank lots of malts in those diners too....the jukebox is a must.....and perhaps a phonebooth.....few neon signs? And btw, beautiful skies you shared in your previous post, thank ya for those! Take care, Teri R

still chuckling over the too clean floor remarks, trying to figure out how to make them more dirty... Working on the tables in Amapi now, and will add some neon signs, and maybe an Elvis poster. Anyone know where to get a (pink) cadilac? lol

I think there's a cadilac at 3dcafe.com, not sure though.
