Upholstery
-
Have been trying to learn upholstery with sketchup.
For the curves i used ruby script Surfacegen.rb.
Not rendered, yet.
-
I'd like to learn to do this too!
Could you add a little "how to"?
-
Hi KarinaGM,
Below are two images.
The first shows the Icon to press to activate Surfacegen.rb and
that is the equation and other settings I used in the SurfaceGen Options.The second is how i stretched out the surface diagonally.
This was rotated with the mover tool.
And the rest is History.

Here's the formula for a cushion or seat cushion.
The next one that follows is a round cushion.

that looks very nice, David.

Thanks Dave,
Im just making guesses and i dont know anything about upholstery.
I used to be a door builder and glass installer for a local company. -
where's the clap, clap, clap?
Thanks, I'll go and get this plugin and try.
One more question. What did you do for the corners? Shape bender? I guess not -
All is mathematic and geometry!

That's what I discovered when I went to download the plugin.
I won't be able to use that one!!!
Is it too late to learn? -
It is never too late to learn !!!

Here is a picture with the steps that are followed to make
a round edge. I used round corners and the icon is circled.
The settings are pointed out in red.
Its starting to look like Spider Man's suit.

I used the Shape Bender script and it worked.

thx for sharing with your knowledge

Neat! I like it.
I'm learning a lot with this -
last week i had a similar task... in a quick sketch for a shop i had to visualise a upholstered piece of furniture, of course with curves. i decided to use a picture as the texture, since it was only shown half in the picture and it was just one small detail. worked out well in the picture. unfortunately i cannot show the full picture due NDA, but i guess it is safe to show the furniture.
do not look to close at the far upper left corner, there is something going on with the texture
