Model This: Sofas

[boofredlay]

Here are a couple of interesting sofas. Push yourself to make one, both or all of these. Take your time and use any tool possible. Share your technique and progress, but most importantly....have fun."

Finn Juhl's Model 57 Sofa

Yellow Diva M Series

[solo]

Okay, I'll bite.

Using, SDS2, FFD and lines2cylinder.

Still in progress, I need to add textures and map UV's.

[Rich O Brien]

Proxy Pete?

[ely862me]

Additional plugins sds1,ffd and round corner.

Very nice Pete. Question, is SDS2 available, or are you Beta testing it right now?

[solo]

Here is the proxy, I used SDS sculpt for button indentations (new).

@Spence, SDS2 is still in Alpha, should be in Beta soon then release 1st 1/4 2011.

@solo: how did you made those places where the buttons are? As I can see, the proxy doesn't have any deformations.

Yes, that is what I can not figure how he did ! ... as the proxy is flat on that areas.

[Gaieus]

That's some new feature of SDS2 (still alpha)

[boofredlay]

It had to have been done after subdividing so the proxy would not show anything.

[Rich O Brien]

The reason I asked for the proxy was that I was trying to do this exact shape yesterday with SDS using the polygon tool.

In the end I did it in Blender, exported/imported yadda yadda yadda

Thanks Eric, these sofas are really nice, make a good training.
Here is my version, took quite some time though.
Actually I lost track of the proportions while trying to figure out how to get the button indentations right, but I think it looks quite ok.

SDS1, Weld, Tube Along Path;

[boofredlay]

Wow, very well done.

[Whaat]

Awesome modeling everyone! Let's see some more!

[SketchUpNoobie]

So, when SDS2 comes out will SDS1 become free? If so, I'll probably try that out before purchasing v2.

[solo]

I'll post a quick tutorial tomorrow on the sculpting tool, I just upgraded both my router and TV today so my wireless network is currently down.

Anyone seen the image on the new LED tv's? OMG!!!

[Richard]

Wow! I've never seen the diva sofa set and I REALLY like it a lot!!

Nice modeling guys, you have done them great justice!

[solo]

Here is a quick peak of how I did the indentations using SDS2 sculpting.

[boofredlay]

Can I say that is badass, as badass as it looked at Basecamp?
Oh, I just did say it was badass.

[solo]

It's sick! (using my kids vocab)

This (soon to be released) plugin opens a whole now dimention to modeling in SU, nothing is impossible...okay except for SU's poly limits that is.

Model looks good.

Hopefully we got SDS2 before x-mas? Not that I am happy with SDS v1, but v2 workflow looks really good - cannot wait.

[solo]

I have no idea regarding the release date, there is still much to refine and stuff to add at this point, but can say so far the features I have tested are awesome and very robust (not a splat yet).

[boofredlay]

...and very robust (not a splat yet).

Except for the one in your chair when you shit yourself at how badass this plugin is

[jchau2007]

WOW that's impressive to see the SDS tool comes alive. I love how Pete (Solo) use the SDS to model his version. I've learned so much about SDS just with this exercise. great job guys.

[Scostumatu]

WHOA this is unbelievable!!!!

Any tutorials on this guys? So is that just 1 plug in that does all this??

LOVE IT!

[brodie]

When do you run the lines2cylinder ruby? Do you have to do this after SDS by selecting a path of really short lines? And what is lines2cylinder? is that the same thing as Pipe Along Path?

-Brodie

[solo]

Yes, after I subdivided the mesh I made it a group then using TOS (tools on surface) I created the path for piping.

[shura]

To get the border right I even decided to model in three pieces (kind of like the upholsterer would handle the cloth).
This made it really easy to find the contour lines for the "border tubes" (sorry, dunno the right term for these).

Nice to see your old avatar again Pete - very familiar

[jo-ke]

Very very intertessting thread. I have to practise and to learn my lessons. I'm still not good enouhg in modelling. As soon as I have more time I'm trying to make my modell of this theme...
