Barcelona Chair [TUTORIAL]
-
Here's a Barcelona chair that I fully modeled in SketchUp and rendered in Kerkythea.
The leather upholstery and buttons was created using the standard Subdivide and Smooth with piping using "lines into tubes" and everything else is standard free SketchUp tools.
I'm thinking about uploading the model to the Components forum. The cleaned up model with stool is about 1.7 MB.
I modeled this to provide high detail for interior rendering and other work. Thus, it is not a completely 100 percent replica but it's very close.
Update 1:
OK, I added part 1 of a tutorial which covers the basics for the cushions. This might wind up in the Tutorials Forum but here it for now.

You did a wonderful job on that model. Would like to see some wirferames!

Thanks. Was just working on some images of the SketchUp model itself.
-
Superb model, well done. I have the white one myself!
-
super modeling . any chance to sharing?
-
Fantastic work
Would you mind sharing your technique for modelled the piping on the chair?
-
great modeling! A few snap shots of how you did it would be great! +1 for sharing it if you are willing to.
-
i'm interested in how you created the seat surface - not familiar with subdivide and smooth. did you extrude and intersect, followme or something more clever?
-
Great render and model. Good to see that some people find kerkythea easy.
-
Great job Gus, hope you can find time to put out a tutorial on the seat and piping.
-
Thank you again. I'm still trying to get a hang of Kerkythea which does get easier with time. The key like most everything is practice, practice, practice.
I added a tutorial for the cushion above. Might get to the piping later today or tomorrow but for now it's as simple as using the line work from the component sections for the cushion (see skp file) and using Lines to Tubes. The centerline of the tubes and piping is the same line(s)you'll find around the component. It's a simple matter of copying and pasting the required line from the component.
Make sure to weld the line work before creating the tube. Also, just make one tube (piping) section which you can convert into a component. There would be two piping components for the tufted area and one for the perimeter of the cushion (top and bottom).

Thanks for taking the time to put together a really informative tutorial - it really helped me to better understand proxy modelling. Cheers
-
wow! it's a very good model!
can you share the .skp file for the previous versions of sketchup?
-
Great work Gus and thanks for the tutorial
-
Thanks and you're welcome. I just added a piping tutorial. You'll need "Lines into Tube" which is available here at Sketchucation.
Here's the latest incarnation of the Barcelona Chair using Artisan rather than SDS. I used the sculpt brush to bump up the tufts a tiny but which also helps to smooth them out. Also did some dimension adjustments on the chair frame, stool and revised the steel to 12mm thickness.

I'm still on v7 but the tutorial is really intriguing. Anyone mind saving a copy down to v7 and sharing?

Brodie, I just uploaded parts 1 and 2 as version 6. Went down one more version just in case there are others still on 6. Hope that works for you.
