      And if you want it higher poly (I think it's better) then here is it:

      Unfortunately that's the wrong link 😞

      That said, thanks for sharing the chair anyway that's really really kind. Would love to see how you create this sort of thing in SU though. For that matter would just love to know how someone / anyone can take any ordinary everyday object and just know which tools to use to re-create it. Some of the organic shaped things just do my head in as I've just no idea of where to start with them. Any tutorials anyone could point me to would be greatly appreciated.

      Best wishes,

        Strangely that link works for me?????????

        As for understanding how members achieve end results for certain models it's best to post where you're having difficulty with a particular model. Most members around here will offer suggestion on how best to approach a particular form/plugin/technique. It's the most efficient way to overcome issues and you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll become proficient at approaching certain issues.

        Post your exact problem with modelling the object and the solution will follow....... πŸ‘

          Hmm it works for me too but I thought it was supposed to be of a higher poly chair and not the neon cube? πŸ˜‰

          Well with me that would be the very beginning phase πŸ˜‰

          Well as mentioned above I wouldn't even know where to start on something like this. Even sometimes when I take a look at what looks like a simple object in my house I just look at it for hours and hours and wonder how something like that would be created.

          I'll have to get something and post to see how to make it. I really wish I could just look at an object and see in my mind which tools to use. The main problem is probably that I don't really know what all the plugins do at the moment and so never know the best one to use.

          Best wishes,

            I messed up, here is the link, you are right that's the cube model.

            I'm getting too old for this internet thing, It's just a fad. πŸ’š

              That's really kind of you to share that model, thank you. I had a bit of a problem with painting it in SU though. Not too sure why but when I paint it with a colour then the model still stays grey. I reckon maybe I have some style setting affecting that though maybe?

              I would absolutely love to see a vide on how you create these kinds of things. Organic objects just do my head in at the moment. I'd love to be able to take some household object and just know instinctively which tool / plugin to use to model it with.

              Best wishes,

                Pete I've heard you say that a few times lately, what's going on mate? Sensing a big 0's birthday coming up or a bum hip or something. Mind you I know myself how little some little things can make one feel a bit older!

                Hey bit of mastery on the chair shell mate!

                          Mr Solo, you posted "probably not accurate but anyway, I used a basic proxy (half model symmetry modeling), subdivided with 2 iriterations, then adjusted form using FFD, used JPP for thickness subdivided with another 2 iriterations and duplicated flipped and joined."

                          I would be grateful if you would explain the steps involved in creating this chair.
