O.K. it's not a fidgetspinner . Patio lounge chair model. Started life as a model from the warehouse. Never used much as it was a little messy and poly heavy. Decided to make a new version with SubD last night. Didn't copy exactly , cushion a little different, shoot me I like tufted cushions. Used old model for general form. Old model 160,000+ edges,
SubD model 12,168 edges. Was fun practice .

The topology looks really good!

Thanks for sharing!

Chesterfield sofa

Just inspired by Adam's(aka Winning with Sketchup) tutorial(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K3b9dM5zdc%26amp;t=164s)

The Basic mesh is here, I draw a circle(sides=6) then I offset the circle and link them (they are not quad faces,but it seems work..)

You can download the model from here:https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/ea3da529-005f-4525-bec1-132e95939c6a/Chesterfield-sofa

Any Advice or Critique is very much welcomed

Thank you very much.

I noticed some irregularity in the subdivided mesh. So I wanted to poke into the control mesh. I turned on QuadFace Tool's Live Analysis Mode that highlights quads as green and triangles as blue.

I found some triangles that looked like they should be quads. Once I converted the triangle-sets to quads the subdivided mesh had more regular lines:

Sorry for my poor english

I'm so grateful that you can take some time check the model

It's a pity that I missed such great function(mesh analysis),just such a doh moment for me.

I'm now trying to add more detail to it,and hope someday in my spare time I could make a tutorial of the making of in Chinese.

Thank you very much for your help

Hi Limshigan - great work and great render and thanks for sharing your model !

When i think about what could be improved, I can only think about how can you make this thing even more comfortable

Looks much comfortable

Thank you for your model

That's a really nice chair model - and render!
Do you still have the original control-mesh? I was trying to play around with the model on 3d warehouse, but I wasn't able to toggle off subdivisions.

I upload the control mesh to 3dwarehouse

It's a pity that you can't input value via VCB, but you can make it , just cumbersome

You can use skatter to scatter garbage on any area in your control.

Selection toy(only border edges) and Vertex tool can add skirt too

从我的 iPhone 发送，使用 Tapatalk

what you are suggesting is that I select only the border edges and then extrude them to form a skirt, right?

and how would you do it with Vertex Tools?

Yes, and don't be afraid that it is not flat. You could then scale your vertices to 0, it will be flat after scaling.

Hi

Make sure the model you apply displacement texture is a group/instances

Guys, does anyone know if Vray for Sketchup 3 supports Substance's .sbsar? and what about the vray bevel procedural?

Bevel edges is very easy, use edge texture in bump slot or apply a bump material to object with edge texture.You could tweak the radius via assest editor.

PBR mat seems not supported in V-Ray right now. They will have glossy fresnel in the future update.So I don't think anything will be done, people have to convert SBS manually to Vray Mtl,just such a pain.

Thanks for the info.

But I was under the impression vray for max had substance support. Am I wrong?

Some people wrote Max plugins to convert PBR material to Vray mtl. But I don't think Vray can achieve exactly same result as Substance painter.

Hi

You can tweak saturation in V-Ray Frame Buffer

I believe Profile Builder 2 had a recent update, although the main refresh was the licensing system.

Dale (a.k.a.: WHAAT) is very capable and reasonable person. Maybe drop him a PM?

Thanks for your reply juju

I'm trying to reproduce what can be done in Railclone Pro in Profile Builder

Just hoping that more feature can be implemented in the future update

BTW I am really appreciate Dale's talent and hard working,I'm by no means critize him

He is the man.

Hi

I am tring to reproduce Railclone tutorial in Ronenbekerman's blog(via the link http://www.ronenbekerman.com/creating-panelling-and-wainscoting-with-railclone/)

But it seems that I can never make it(see the photo below)

It looks perfect,but in the image below

IMO,Profile Builder lacks some feature like Expression editor which can link each instances dynamicly and align them properly

I am not good at both coding or English at all and I am just going crazy to make it clear what I am talking about

1.I don't think tick on "Max" is all the best solution and sometimes caused undesireable result,like end setback not correct and so on.
2.In ProfileBuilder I sometimes can't manipulate more than 2 components(for example "Even XXX"and "Sub Even XXX") and make them properly aligned.

Maybe I am asking to much?

Best Regards

Profile Builder is awesome.Fully Parametric Very decent and easy to tweak. But I as a user hope that PB can add more feature in the next upgrade.
Wonder that will PB be less important to maintain after the huge success of Placemaker? Does It mean users will take a long wait to get an upgrade?
