    Any idea how to model this chair? Specifically the subtle contour of the seat back.. I have tried using Fredos Curviloft without success. (Screenshot below)

        Really great work Alvis!

        Let's say I want to get to the point where I can model upholstered furniture at the similar level. What plugin/ technique should I start with? What is most critical to start off in the right direction?

        It would be awesome if you could at some point make a video on youtube showing your technique, because you are very talented.

        Thanks for any advice!

            I appreciate the direction. However, for a novice sketchup user, it is difficult to follow these "step by step" screenshots without explanation of the exact tools being used/ buttons to press, detailed description of workflow etc. I have no idea how to even get to step one. It is not explained too well in Alvis' posts.

                I think it will not be possible to start at the very beginning with the basic tools and end up with a tufted chair in one tutorial...

                  On the second Alvis page there is some really great work. I would, however, greatly benefit from a brief description of how each step is achieved. For instance, from photo 1 to photo 2, are the grid lines drawn manually or is there a plugin to create the grid lines? How are the vertices selected and moved? How exactly do you get from step 3 to step 4. I'm sorry, but just seeing each step without a description doesn't explain as much as I'd like.

                  Thanks for you help.

                    He uses PhotoMatch

                    He has books available in shop around the topic.

                    Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

                      1. Are the grid lines drawn manually? Yes.
                      2. How are the vertices selected and moved? VertexTool, Scele, Move, Rotate
                      3. How exactly do you get from step 3 to step 4? Using Photomatch (if are the pictures from several angles)

                      How long do you use SketchUp? We should not think that everything will make the plugin. If you are a beginner, you need to gain experience and patience. There are a few of my books, there are a lot of video material on the Internet.

                      p.s I promise to prepare a video...

                        I would buy your video tutorials if you made some Alvis.
