Just a prototype @ his stage n well underway in refinement im really interested to hear your suggestions and perhaps expand on what you mean by the above????

I suppose that when you apply materials you edit components before. That's the way to have control on them. Materials are obviously tiled but you can drag and shift them to avoid seeing the seam line. You also have other options available from the context menu. For example you can rotate a material to show grain in the correct direction.

I'd like to make a tutorial on this for the blog

Do you an something like this?

Yes, that is the idea. It looks like a photorealistic rendering. Unless you did it expressely, you could rotate the grain on the apron to make it more realistic. It would be also useful to folks new to woodworking to show how the grain should run. For that Edit the component and right click on the mouse. Choose Texture - Rotate - 90 degrees

Hi Guys, the attached a series images are of design for a piece which has just been made. It was designed in sketchup and rendered in Kerkythea. The only real image is the one in my kitchen.

Cheers
