You have the exact measures when you start your model or it's by eyes?

At the beginning it was a normal sized armchair, later I decided to resize it according to this little man (attached image). H860 x W600/1285 x D835 mm

Amazing models man! Really cool! I've been drooling over them

Could you share some tips on how you create the piping or seams in your models? Perhaps some images or a video, before you smoothen it out?

Thanks,

All seams/pipes are added after smoothig with this plugin "Pipe along path"
Just mark the lines/edges where you want to add the pipes (make sure that selected lines/edges are not softened/smoothed) or make a "road" for piping with "SketchUV: path select tool"iping with "SketchUV: path select tool"

That's a wonderful way to do it. Will try it out!

I also noticed in your models that there is a clear and distinct dark line when 2 edges of the fabric meet. It looks really clean!

How you achieve that effect? Is it in the geometry or done using a plug-in after smoothing?

If you are talking about these lines (see attached image with red marks) so it's a tubes/seams.

I was referring to your Madison sofa model, labeled as 1,2,3

1 - The small, horizontal joint in the armrest
2 - Similar joint running along the arm
3 - The cuts in the tufting part

1 and 2 - pipes

Thanks for the details!

infernovak

Thanks for sharing these tips! They are amazing

You should consider doing your own Youtube channel for 3d Modelling in Sketchup. Trust me, a lot of beginners like me would look up to your work for inspiration!

In #3, how were you able to fuse the piping into the fabric? I am trying to test how it happens but it destroys the model.

Here is what I am trying:

Select path, add pipe
explode pipe out of group, so that it merges with model
Smooth and subdivide

What am i doing wrong here?

ginchius

Leave the pipes in group, do not explode them. Attached an example.
