Form and function furniture
-
LOL@y'all
I suppose comfort falls into the "function" department, I need to get to that part.
Have you ever been to a corporate office or a millionares home and seen an item of furniture that dominates the room? Like the glass chair above, it would be purchased as a conversation starter or a centre 'arty' piece, or just because you got the bucks and want everyone to know.
Like the next one, friggin heavy (cannot be stolen too easily) and a pretty penny to buy a set of 6.Marble stool

what a great thread to start the day. thanks solo.
a great variety of forms - quite pleasing to my eye (I love organic forms). and your presentation of the models (wireframe + render on white background) is very attractive.
short question: did you mirror-component these models in order to reduce the filesize? or do you get a visible seam then?
-
Jakob,
I indeed used the mirror component method on some of them to keep sizes down.
Here is another take on the glass chair, this time it's rough aged stone in the snow (exterior park seating)
-
Yeah sorry Pete!
Man you're going to fast! Slow down - take a valium and make some more reditions of your first few, some nice promise with a few of those pieces! The sun bed is also looking sweet, maybe a framed strapped or woven version there would be really nice! Wouldn't mind some of these going away from mono pieces and incorporating support to lighten and break them up!
hey what is going on with the marble stool mate????
-
Having fun again between projects.
Playroom seating
Rusty statue seat

You my friend are on a roll. The statue and kids playroom seating is superbe!
-
Dang, Pete...!!
These are really good..!!
Perhaps you should think about being a furniture designer...
Or even better - move to Denmark and make some Danish design...
-
impressive...nice designs
-
Solo, awesome stuff. This may sound dumb or it may not, but have you ever tried marketing some of these ideas. I think there is a need in the market for original and innovative designs, and your stuff is certainly that, IMO. I really like the rocker chais. Now were these rendered in v-ray or are the a glimpse of something to come? (hint hint)
-
Not V-Ray, I think. And I'm guessing it ain't P 2.0 either. Looks good, though. More, please.
I told ya, Pete, you oughta do a children's book. You'd be great at it.
-
muy buenos muebles solo, llaman mucho la atencion asi los diseños organicos, sobre todo modelados en el sketchup.
very good furniture alone, called so much attention designs organic, mainly modeled in SketchUp
pardon me forget to translate the message jajaja -
They ROCK pete

Absolutely fantastic stuff as always Pete. I especially like the playroom chair. However it looks as though its made of hard plastic. Good for wiping away those accidental 'spills' but maybe not so comfortable to jump around on. Maybe a leather finish would be more appropriate?
Sorry, it doesn't seem right giving criticism to one of the SU masters
-
Thanks guys,
Stinkie, I used Vue for those last ones. Funny enough I recently did a few illustrations and covers for two books, one a humorous look at road rage and the other a childrens drawing and crafts book. Maybe one day I will have the nerve and support to do my own.
Anyway, doodling again but this time I have got pending projects but needed the break.
Gaming chair or deck
Silly swing chair

I felt a bit like that too, though I think the better we are the more we realise any room for improvement! I think pete seems mature and confident enough to not take offence to suggestion but to crave for it!

I don't know which image I enjoy more on all of these, the mesh or the render
-
absolutely, Boofredlay. the meshes are so smooth, regular and well shaped! simply stunning

I'm fairly certain that if you did a book on SU & rendering, it would be a success. You know your stuff, got a plethora of great techniques - and there's a personal tone to what you write. You wouldn't even need a ghostwriter, an editor would do.
Keep in mind also, that both Chopra's and Roskes' books, great as they are (I enjoyed reading their stuff), are limited, as they solely focus on SU.
Okay. Enough OT-ing from me.
-
I would certainly buy it.
