Hi Pugz,

Nice renders. Looking awesome!
And thanks for the compliment.

All three words are synonymous. In the U.S. I think most would use the term ottoman.

Thanks for your explonation and compliment. I have searched on these words but each word have several meanings, some of them are a bit weird.

I tried modeling a sofa once - looked like it was carved from stone.

I hope these models makes it a bit easier

When you texture your Models do you use a certain Software for uvw?

Hi Twtytom,

Thanks!

For UV mapping models there are some nice tools available.

• Roadkill UV Tool (Free)
• UVLayout ($100 for 12 months license)
• Ultimate Unwrap 3D ($49,95 for all-time use, as far as I now)

Both UVLayout and Ultimate Unwrap 3D have a free demo available on their website.

I hope this is useful. Good luck!

Hi SketchUp users,

As an introduction to my latest model pack the following question to you guys. The small furniture accessory that fits perfectly in every living room, what is the proper name?

Pouf, footstool or ottoman?

I would like to hear what you folks think!

Fact: It is a ‘poef’ in dutch!

Hopefully this is useful to you! This is my first tutorial, more to come!

Hi Neets,

These are looking very good and very artistic. These renders will do on a commercial purpose.

Keep on going!!!

@alvis said:

Careful work and stunning model.

Hello Alvis,
Thanks for your reply! The renders are looking good.

@duanekemp said:

Like Pete, if I can get the time… I will. However, just the fact that there is another challenge for rendering is an encouraging thing. Thanks for giving the opportunity.

Thanks! I hope that "the render this contests" will be a success. So I can give you more giveaways to play with in the future.

@solo said:

Really great model, if I get the time I certainly will give it a go.

Thanks for sharing and hopefully we can get many different render apps represented.

Hi Solo,
Thanks! I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi people.

I noticed that it’s been a while since the last ‘Render this’ topic came by. That is why I want to re-introduce it with a free giveaway model I give you all.

For this ‘Render this’ I’m giving you an old camera model with various accessories. The goal for the participants is to render an original composition with the models provided. Which render method or style to use is for the creativity of the participant.

I’m looking forward to your renders!
