      Hi all. I got a product (furniture) visualization project, but I can't find the most suitable workflow to create the 3D model. Basically, it's a weaving pattern. However, I'm not sure how to start and what plugins should I use. I went to 3DWarehouse and found a model with similar concept (attached). But still, if I need to make a new one, I don't know how to start the modeling in Sketchup. I hope someone can tell me the best workflows (including the plugins) to create this specific object.

        Why not use a texture and displacement?

          I know textures and displacement map might works for rendering. But, in this case, I really need to create it as 3D model since the Sketchup model will be used for presentation as well.

            SketchUp is not geared towards that level of intricacy.

            Not impossible just labour intensive, especially for furniture.

            I still think texturing is the way to go. If it's for presentation then its more visual than accurate.
