pool table

the picture above was one of the first renders that i done of the pool table and cue. i created this table by using the chamfer circle tool, and changing the dimensions to the desired amount, as well as the fillets. i then cloned this part, and put it to one side. i then created another chamfer circle, and booleoned the side ball drop pocket out. i then took the clone back and changed the height of it. i then cloned it again, changing the lngth, and height, to make it so right through the bigger one. this was then booleoned through, to give the cut out shape in the middle. i then cloned the main part of the table once more, and yet again i changed the height of it. i also added a blue material to it. i then cloned the top part and scaled it to a more desirable size, and again the blue material was added.the legs were made out of simple chamfer circles, and made to the desired length.
to create the balls, i simply made a sphere, and made it to the desired size, using a picture as a reference, the balls were then cloned and put in a triangular shape. either red or yellow material was added to the correct ball. i later added a white ball, but this is not shown in the picture above.
i triangle was made by using the line tool to make the shape, this was then extruded and cloned. the cloned triangle was then scaled down to a smaller shape,and booleoned.
the pool cue was made by drawing half the shape using the line tool, this was then lathed, to create a 3d shape. finally a material was added to it, see below. the material was taken from a picture of a pool cue (and cropped out).the main problem i had with this was doing the pockets for the balls, so this has been left, for the time being.

to make the pool table look more realistic and pub like i added some lights above it, which i will later be adding lighting effects to. i also changed the uv mapping on the cues, to make the brown bits bigger on them. i also added a white ball to the scene. to make the table better, it still needs pockets, but when i tried to put them in, they looked very bad.
