Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial you will learn a work flow on how to create a pool table using real scale values to give a realistic impression.

You will see how to use the Symmetry modifier to speed up your work, as well as the Bend modifier coupled with some basic commands like Insetting and Bridging to create a very unique design in matter of minutes. You will also learn how to save rendering time by choosing Standard materials over the Arch&Design ones, while still achieving the same impressive results by ‘reverse-engineering’ the Pro Materials in matter of minutes.

My name is Isaias Baez, a Computer Graphics student in Germany. I started 3D modeling/ animation as a hobby, learned lots of things from the internet, and then finally made the choice to study it full time. Most of my work is focused on modeling, but recently my point of focus is changing to animation. I love guitars which might be reflected in my tutorials, and besides playing music, PC gaming is another one of my hobbies. I will try to pass on the tips and tricks that I have learned along the way through my tutorials, and I really hope to be of help to you guys!
