An update on the Ping pong ball portion of the project. I've mocked up the final design on Maya. I got a design from Daniel that I thought went great on a ping pong ball. I asked my classmates "Would you buy a set of beers if they sold you this ping pong ball along with it?" and all of them pretty much said that they would. I tried making the ball in two different ways, through a quad sphere and a regular sphere made out of two halves. In the end I went with the regular sphere since the texture binding around it was much better. It also gave it a distinct "lip" that I think a lot of ping pong balls tend to have. As you can see I went through three different sizes before I finally got the size right. But I'm pleased with how it turned out.
