Building, who knows. The first model was originally the snooker table, built for a challenge when I used C4D (it was modeled entirely with splines, no geometry or meshes at all – got 2nd place), and only very recently converted to Blender (which was a bigger job than I anticipated. Converted to mesh in C4D and exported, and teh geometry was horrible – then I had to recreate all of the textures).
The pool table was a native Blender build, and probably took a couple of weeks.
The dartboard was a rebuild in Blender of an original C4D model (and I mean, rebuilt from the ground up), probably a month (you can’t see it at this scale, but there’s a lot going on with the dartboard)
EDIT: I should add, even this render had a fault. I forgot that the cue balls had a pure white material, which looked very unnatural. Fortunately, I could just render the tiny cue ball area with a fixed texture and then put them all together in GIMP, which didn’t take too long.
the rest of the room was maybe a week’s worth of work, then lighting, and tweaking the lighting etc. Render time was around 5.5 hours (My PC has been barely turned off this week whilst I rendered, and tweaked).
PC gets a good night’s sleep tonight.
