Thanks a lot!
Quote: "Actually, the texture could use a fair bit of work. You seem to have some bad stretching issues, or you are using a bad texture, but frankly the wood doesnt look much like wood. Nice model though."
As for the stretching issues, I don't think it's in the UV map, as I made an effort to ensure that the proportions stayed intact when I scaled things up or down. So it's probably in the texture.
Just for clarification though, exactly what parts do you think look stretched? If it's the wood grain, like how it appears "stretched" in the back-view pic of my first picture, then that was intentional. Wood usually does have a very distinct sense of "direction" in the lines of the grain, it's not at all "round" like you might expect, and all the references of mahogany I could find appeared "stretched" like that, so that's what I went with.
If you look at the wood in
this pic that I used for reference (the quality is not the best, but you can still make it out), you can kind of see what I mean.
Thanks for the feedback so far everyone, I appreciate it.
