Fritz Hansen - Space Chair
-
Ya, and it isn't much
-
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
-
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
hahaoh yeah, and i'm with ypnos!
-
@ 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!
-
count me in on the "haters club ball" with Jason and Ypnos.
outstanding work, Rob..... -
Yep, I'm in. I hate him too.
-
so we're all in agreement? we hate Rob?
lol jealousy is the sincerest form of flattery... or is that imitation?
anyway sweet work Rob...

Thank you guys very much this really encourages me to push the limit on my modelling
. -
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 -
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.
-
No problem Kris here to help!
-
...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
-
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
. -
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? -
To be honest I have not worked with the sandbox tools At All, so I have no idea, I'll have to try that soon, though what I am looking for is a ruby script that can make faces out of the grid I set up, that would save me a lot of work, I have tried converting the cruves I set up to a single curve and then using the curve stitcher but then you got a proper mess so thats not an option.
But I will have a look at the sandbox option. And if anyone knows of a script to stitch a grid I would be more than happy to know about this.
Thanks!

Hey Rob, and others, check this quick tut I created using part of your method. I think this would save you a bunch of time. Thanks Susan for the suggestion.
-
I just tried the create contours idea and couldn't get it to work.
I did however have much success with the a new ruby call D.B Tools. It did all the stiching for me. Rob it sounds like you did all the stitching by hand....definately check this out because this will save you lots of time.
I've attached the script for you here
let me know if this works out for youThanks again for posting your tutorial - it is always great to see new work flows.
Regardless I'm haven't made the mental connection between your tutorial and the chair. How the heck did you make those pads!
Great work
thanks again
btw - i still hate you
-
I tried posting the .zip file of the ruby script and it didn't work. Not sure why....perhaps i should go back and read posting requirements
in the mean time i'll give it another shot
Skin.zip -
ypnos you forgot the attachment
, I would love to see it. As for the pad, I rotated the section planes and did quite an amount of stitching and made a lot of corrections by eye later on. So it's partially a lot of experience modelling.I mustve done more than 200 models similar like this one by now, so I know what I am doing and I keep improving my methods, but this method is something I always come back to, sorta like a basis, I often also use the stitchings of the curve with a follow me and so on. A mental connection also doesn't exist for me I just model
if you want to put it into term I would put it like: I see the whole thing like a ball of clay with structure. Nothing is impossible that is what you have to keep in mind.
