Making a Table

I started by getting a reference image and importing it into Maya.
I then used the cv curve tool to create a curve around the table stand.
I then attempted to use the revolve tool to create the base of the table however this wasn’t the result I wanted so I decided to go for a different approach.
I decided to create a frame using the curves based on the original image.
I then used the loft tool to attach two of the curve lines together. at first the face would be on the inside so I had to make sure I was selecting the lines in the correct order.
I then repeated the process around the frame.
The finished object looked like this.
Before continuing I first made sure to remove the object from the frame.
To finish off the bottom of the table I added a few more simple polygons.
This was the table once I added the top.
Afterwards I decided to add a bit more detail through more simple polygons. this would be the finished model for the table.
