Model This: Sofas

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."

Okay, I'll bite.

Using, SDS2, FFD and lines2cylinder.

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

Proxy Pete?

spence · 14 Dec 2010, 20:05

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

ely862me · 14 Dec 2010, 20:13

Additional plugins sds1,ffd and round corner.

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 · 14 Dec 2010, 22:02

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

boofredlay · 14 Dec 2010, 22:16

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

Rich O Brien · 14 Dec 2010, 22:43

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 · 15 Dec 2010, 01:41

Wow, very well done.

Whaat · 15 Dec 2010, 02:37

Awesome modeling everyone! Let's see some more!

SketchUpNoobie · 15 Dec 2010, 02:47

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

solo · 15 Dec 2010, 03:13

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 · 15 Dec 2010, 16:39

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 · 15 Dec 2010, 16:49

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

boofredlay · 15 Dec 2010, 17:24

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