Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy Chairwell look at that, my first competition entry.
YAY! not amazing complex, but kept me busy for a fews minutes. pav Just won the 'Who is Least Competitive Championships' where trying to win will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose.
Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy ChairMy first entry as well...I had fun with soap skin bubble plugin. It may not be the most comfortable chair ever, but I'm sure a Shaker would be proud of it.

Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy ChairYou are going for comfort there David. Those and your weenie chair look very comfortable, that is unless the weenies were cooked first
![]() Good job.
Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy ChairI like your PushPin Chair. You actually ought to pursue that design. You'd sell a ton of them!

Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy ChairOk, here's my process:
First, it occured to me that it would be cool to have a chair that could raise more than a normal chair so I could check the street view through my high window while working at the PC. Then I thought: Perhaps the chair should also be able to walk and take me to the streets. A couple days later it dawned to me: Why not a Star Wars walker chair? So I found some reference images of the AT-ST walker, and even a blueprint. However, knowing my skill level (or lack thereof) I knew I could not finish it in 30 minutes if I took the simplification decisions while modeling in SketchUp. I needed to decide how to simplify the design before starting to model. The idea needed to be very clear before even touching SketchUp. Today I found the chance to do a sketch of a simplified AT-ST walker chair while waiting in line in the bank. Let's see what I can model in the next 30 minutes...

I see that the 640x470 images I posted were scaled down by the forum software. I have just tried posting two in 640x640 (exported as 1280x1280 in SU to have thinner lines), a former "magic size" that never got scaled here, but now it's being scaled, too ![]() (Plz change the current forum style for the Xand style) EDIT: Images are now attached to this forum (Thanks, Gaieus ![]() Last edited by Ecuadorian on Tue Oct 20, 2009 3:44 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy Chairneat miguel.. i had to watch it twice because the first time i got hung up on watching the tool selection in the toolbar.. looks like a weird instrument being played or something..
of all the chairs posted so far, i definitely want to try yours out the most ![]() [i think if you don't place the pictures in line, you can then click on them and be taken to their proper size. at least it works like that in this thread dotdotdot
Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy Chair
Also, I have now changed the thumbnail size to 640 pixels so let's see if that fits in without scrolling. Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy ChairHOW DO YOU GUYS do that stuff? ????? The model . .. I get that. . .which is really cool by the way. . . I just don't know how to "record" and post video.
I guess that makes me a Vidiot. ![]() If I make it look easy...It is probably easy
Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #18 My Crazy ChairI'll start a new thread for this so as not to go off topic.
