You do know that the idea of FormFonts is that you download when you need it? Cause for every download you make I get money so think of the little guy here

[Krisidious]

oh really?

[robmoors]

Ya, and it isn't much

[ypnos1]

You have got to be kidding...you did that in SU from scratch?

I'd love to see a brief tutorial on your method
outrageously cool
nice work!

btw....i hate you...i'm so green with envy

[marked001]

good to know good to know.. i do that too, but its just because its easier to search there than on my computer.. maybe someone can set up a bot to dl 30 of your models/day haha

oh yeah, and i'm with ypnos!

[robmoors]

@ Marked: That would be so cool a bot

@ Ypnos: Its not really all that difficult it's just a lot of work Ill look into that tutorial though.

Thanks to both of guys for the comments!

Haha

Thank you guys very much this really encourages me to push the limit on my modelling .

[robmoors]

For all the haters our there a quick tut , it might be a little iffy here and there but thats because I slammed this out in 10 min and its 7:30 AM now and I haven't slept so far.

This is the way I do these difficult chairs/dual-curved stuff...
The amount of control incredible with this technique, though it's time consuming.

Anyway enjoy!

Crap upload failed, Ill look into that tomorrow but for now:
Rapidshare!! Click Me

[Krisidious]

omg... that is soo awesome, and soo easy too... it's like someone turning on a light switch. organic shape through right angle manipulation... fantastic...

thank you. thank you. thank you.

[robmoors]

No problem Kris here to help!

[kwistenbiebel]

...Amazing organic modeling.
And besides your modeling skills this Hansen chair is one hell of a good design.

yep and some envy hate points too

[robmoors]

Thanks Kwistenbiebel, and yeah the design is amazing I wish I could have one or 2 of those things right here, the look pretty comfortable .

[robmoors]

Yeah I know these you tought me those tricks remember though for a quick tut which I made in 15 min I left it out, besides thats for optimising you model, not actually creating it right but these tips do make a good addition and I recommend them to all!

Rob, I'm just wondering if using the "from contours" in sandbox might not speed things up a little.

If you cut the profiles where they begin to undulate in a vertical fashion, you would have 3 secitons to the the chair seat. The fromt bit which curves round and under; the middle which is a horizontally undulating plane; and the back which is a a vertical 'landscape". Rotate the 2 vertical "landscape" sections, that is the front and back, so that the curves are now horizontal. Use the "From contours tool on each section. There will be a ton of "bad" arees that don't follow the curves exactly, but those may be faster to fix than to draw every single segment in the first palce. Then when it is corrected, rotate the 2 vertical sections back into position.
Have you tried that and does it work for you?
