Chairs by Architects personal challenge
-
I got as a present a book 'Chairs by Architects' from my daughter and decided to make all of the models as this year challenge for my modelling skills.
This is not first one in the book but it will serve as a starting model.The chair is designed by Otto Wagner for the Austrian Post Office Savings Bank building and produced by Gebrüder Thonet company. I did use reference dimensions of a model they still produce.
Model is made with SU_2019, uv´s with Ultimate Unwrap 3D, texture and render in Substance Painter.
-
a great present and a great project-starting idea
-
Very nice piece, nicely done.
-
Impressive render which really shows off and describes the construction of the piece.
-
Thank´s gentleman's for a good word, it is a bit more than comfortable and it did pass some time sains I did something out of my comfort zone but there lays the fun.
Next chair is Joseph Maria Olbrich Armchair 1899, and after that, I will model one more complicated, probably Victor Horta Dining Room Chair 1890. -
Any idea of the number of models to make for your challenge?
This next one is some gorgeous!

If I count them right there is 32 models to be made.
I am a bit a chair admirer and it is great for me to learn something about architects that designed them.
1000 would be not a challenge but a life long project
-
Very cool!
-
Well, it took me a quite long time to get to this one.
Not quite satisfied with all details but will move on with this chair.
Done with SU and now off to UV´s to get prepped for texturing and rendering.
-
Very impressive results you are getting mate. Nice.
-
Looking good!
-
So this one is Joseph Maria Olbrich Armchair from 1899, there are some things that I would like to be better but since it took me soo long to post chair no.2. I will call this finished and move to chair no.3. Henry van de Velde Blomenwerf Chair 1895.
Model is made with SU_2019, UV's with Ultimate Unwrap 3D, texture and renders (screengrabs) in Quixel Mixer 2020.
-
Wow. That turned out great!
-
Agreed, muddy marvelous mate.
-
Gents, thank you for kind words.
-
That is some seriously good texture work! Alas, I don't have the patience to deal with UV maps.
