Very interesting textures...........
In render?
After modeling it I did not have any will left.

nlipovac, great job. hard to believe it's your first try at an upholstered chair.

Thank you Tuna1957, but this is not my first try, it is my first successful finished armchair model.
I have over 20 models that I start and never finished and on all occasions, i lost my temper and aborted them (with a lot of screaming and swearing).

Unfinished models are good practice! You try things you normally wouldn't attempt in these unfinished projects.
Eventually, all the unfinished practice yields benefits like the chair you shared. Really goo model

Thanks, Rich.
I know, I even started learning Blender to get some solid knowledge on Subdivision.
I do have some more furniture models I would like to model myself so we will see how that will go. -

Thanks for sharing!

This was a 10 min model to help someone in another forum.
Thought I would throw it in here if anyone wants to use it as something to start from and see what you can make of it.
-
Is it a self-portrait?
-
-
here's a raygun model i was doodling with last week.
now to finish texturing it...
-
Do you call it Ronald?
Very nice by the way.

Good old Ben Gun, Treasure Island I think?

You inspired me to at least try: SubD...Vertex tools & Quad face tools.
I think I made a sufficient mess of your cartoon man.(see Non-SubD .skp)I learned enough today, to know I need to research some more, before learning/forming any really bad habits.
Best regards,
CharliePS/FYI...SubD file too large to upload

That's rendered in Sketchup, Thea? Texturing looks sweet, I gotta try out substance painter.

Me too.

That direct in the Substance Painter viewport. If you're half thinking of adding SP to your workflow don't waste time procrastinating it. Dive in. Best decision I ever made.
The reason WrapR got kickstarted. SketchUp needed a better way to get UVs.

Hello Rich,
Just a quick FYI...Substance Painter and associated software is on sale. That being said would you recommend just Painter or the entire Substance Pack?

Painter is used to directly paint materials (colors, height, roughness, normal, etc...) into a correctly UV unwrap mesh. You can also use ready made materials, with special effects that are affected by the shape of your mesh. You can also import textures and paint your mesh and there are other more advanced options. It's incredibly powerful at that but it really requires a UV unwrapped mesh without it it won't work.
Designer is a material creation sofware that is also capable of texture your model. You can create materials procedurally or based on images, you can combine materials and texture your model. You can also apply effects that react to your model's geometry but you cannot handpaint your model.
The materials used in painter are created with designer, but designer allows you to create materials for any software that uses bitmap textures for materials.
Bitmap to Material is a very very "simplified version of Designer" where you can create materials from base textures for any render engine or software.
Without knowing what you do, Rich cannot recommend any of the above. I would recommend designer for people that use sketchup and render software for stuff like architecture where you need to create materials even if you will eventually texture some of it using UV unwrap meshes.
I would recommend painter for people that use sketchup for isolated objects as it's more likely that they are able to UV unwrap them. If you know that your texture process will eventually lead you to a UV unwrapped mesh, painter is definetelly worth it as you can see in the raygun above.
I would recommend Bitmap to Material for people that will only search for images and convert them to materials.

Hello JQL,
Thank you for the thorough explanation.
