About the apply texture...
Some UV or not ? And with what prog ?

"SketchUV" and "Roadkill UV tool 1.1" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXS6_WdXZ3s
and sometimes using "Fredo ThruPaint"

ginchius , I really like your models, they are so neatly done. It appears in your models that you like to use artisan (with tris) than Subd (with quads). Do you find it more practical to use tris than quads in SU at least for upholstered furniture?

Modeling with Artisan is much easier and faster than with SubD. No need to worry about quads.
Also, Artisan has a few imortant tools for me: Sculpt tool is very useful for adding some wrinkles to make furniture look more realistic. Crease tool is very important for me...

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

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.

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"

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

For seams I'm usig the "Pipe along path" plugin

Have you try this one? (French Pierre Paulin 1927-2009)

Interestingly shaped chair. Definitely I'll try to model it later.
