MODEL THIS: Loopita Bonita Lounger

not bad not bad

-
I kept it as low poly as I could, but it still just topped 6000 faces.

-
Lots of impressive models here

Kind of a new twist on an Ottoman?If this piece comes flat-packed from IKEA I think I'll pass

OK, so who's up for the interior daisy-chain version?

here's a more user friendly version of the DC.
click on the component then.. Window->Component Options
this example shows one of the major letdowns of DCs (and what i'd love for the SUteam to fix!)..you can't move a component relative to it's axes without stretching it.. so, in order to get proper height control, i had to place the rib component inside another DC.. what this does is create multiple component definitions upon copying which leads to big files sizes/bad performance etc..
obviously not fine tuned etc as i don't have much time to spend on it but you get the idea.

btw - here are a few real world loops i've built

[flash=500,400:2e8irx04]http://www.youtube.com/v/oJV40gmUtmI?fs=1&hl=en_US[/flash:2e8irx04]taking the open top loop idea a bit further.. open top corkscrew:

Seems a very dangerous model!

It's near Paraplegia for some skate users!

Nice work on those real ones Jeff. You got skills man.
I never expected so many great models this soon. You guys are awesome.

WIP.
Used copy along path (after I figured out how to keep the groups perpendicular)

I've done it by hand... no speedmodelling here
but by hand is more like doing one little bar, copy+rotate it 17 times, move each copy a few mm. Copy+rotate those 7 times, move each one the appropriate distance as well... so it's not really a helix I guess. no torque. just a shear.
And for the final touch, the hand grips or whatever for each segment. You guys all left those out I think... plus the fact that the distance is different there... Anyway. don't mean to be critical
I omitted some stuff too. Like, the cushions. Sorry cushions.
So here's my pic. Enjoy.

Another great one Martha. Well done.
