@Alvis, there are a couple of things about this thread:

Your work is wonderful * It is both an inspiration and a depressant* You have inspired some posts that let me know that I am not the only one who drools and wonders if I can ever learn to do things like this.

I am looking at things like this and things in the SubD Examples thread and wondering how and where is the best place to start to learn how to draw things like this. And Yes, being realistic, I do not expect to achieve the craftsmanship you are displaying. I just have trouble wrapping my mind around things like this and trying to figure out where/how to go about learning how to use the SU tool and its plugins for this type of modeling.

She's written some impressive plug-ins — this one gives an amazingly realistic look to your already life-like textures and shapes. Very cool!

Legs and the round cushion...

And final result.

For the cushion, how do you go from the plain shape to the creased control mesh? Are you using a plugin to deform the geometry?
