Pool/ Snooker Table

[Greg White]

Hi there,

I am after a 3D symbol of a Pool / snooker table.

Any help would be good.

Cheers Greg

Not exactly a 3D symbol, but you can easily find 3D model in such as Sketchup Warehouse, and convert it to a 3D symbol afterward.

Alternatively they are not too difficult to model yourself.

Hope this helps.

I try the Hawk Eye technology used in Tennis and Cricket. A series of cameras positioned around the table that detects where everything is and then can produce a 3D layout.

Sup, guys

 

Unfortunately that's the only topic about pool tables  that I've managed to find

So I ask here

 

I've looked at the previous link (https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=snooker table) and those tables seem okay

But in terms of my learning process I'd like to make it myself - not just download a complete one

I faced another problem - I'm not quite sure about table's measurements, huh :D

I found this article about table sizes. So I found out that tables for pool, snooker and billiard are different...

 

Where could I look for different tables in 3D? 

thanks

You'll probably find them at turbosquid.  They won't be in VW format but they will be highly detailed.

Kind of shocked that with all the symbols now in VW there's no pool table.

The libraries are deep and even useful, but no pool table.

???

Modelled this old style snooker table years ago.  See enclosed

@Mickey You didn't specify which version of VW you are using....

That said, here is a pretty good pool table. VW 2022 version.

It is a semi-large file, so you can mess with 'Simplify Mesh' from the Modify menu, but be careful not to over simplify ! 🙂

I'm on '23 and when I searched for one I couldn't find anything in the resource browser

[Kevin K]

Uh, so…..use the one I uploaded 🙂

you won’t find anything like it an any VW library…..period.

Kevin when I click on the link I just get a "sorry can't find ..." error.

😞

 

[Pat Stanford]

@Mickey,  I see the same. I will get someone to check the link.

 

 

[Kevin K]

Mickey...not sure why that would happen.....??

But, I uploaded it again for you....:-)

Grab a beer and have a game with Pat 🙂

 

Here is an image of the pool table....

It is a 2022 file, so you should be abate to open it in 2023.

There seems to. E some voodoo going on with the file showing up more than once…

Mickey, download the file showing towards the bottom of my post.

Nice table Kevin.  I wonder what the the fellow who started this thread did.  He seems to have gotten lost.

 

I played snooker yesterday on a 12 foot table for the first time in years.  Love that game. 

 

[Kevin K]

Paul…..uh…did you win that snooker game? 🙂

[VIRTUALENVIRONS]

Won one, lost one.  More for fun.   I have played periodically through the years.  Played some tournaments when I was younger.

 

The reason I modelled a snooker table was to rebuild the pool room I learned to play the game in and make a movie.  There was a reunion in my home town of that time period (1968) and that pool room figured prominently for many reasons beside Snooker.  It disappeared in 1970.  

 

This is where the term "better living through modern chemistry" was really coined.

 

 

[VIRTUALENVIRONS]

The movie may not be appropriate for all ages, but here are a few stills.  Did this in 2012.  Modelled in VW, rendered in C4D.

Paul...is one of those 60's Hippies leaning against the column next to the pool table,  you!! ??  🙂 

[VIRTUALENVIRONS]

Interesting you recognize the gendre😀.  But, that is my brother (left) and my next door neighbour.  That picture was from a wedding that I cut them out from, but same look for me, except of course for the suits.  Jeans and a tea shirt.  It was a marvellous time.  

This was done without the send to C4D button.  This was all with a series of "hooks' I used based around DXF.
