Other small challenges

Alvis,

You used soapskin on the chair's back to create the pads?

This is amazing... Thanks a lot for sharing!

Well just like Jason, I seldom commented on your works but I keep admiring them. I think you deserve an afro smiley so there you go:

And I hope you keep posting in the Post-pro section of the forum (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewforum.php?f=351) all excellent!) for I believe the tips you share benefit most of us!

I also hope I will someday produce beautiful images spending only 15 minutes post-pro... But this I doubt...

Thakn you so much but I meant this one:

After longer pauses several my works. Visualization with Twilightrender

Hi Alvis!
Do you happen to have more infos on this stool (brand, model...)?
I used it in my last model (thank you sooo much! )and the client wants it now...

Hi!

It works. I had to create an admin account with a password ot get it to work but it worked perfectly.
I also understood what created these unwanted lines on dwg export from Illustrator: There was a clipping mask with a gradient applied to the shape... I ungrouped the shape and the gradient, re-exported and it came out perfect and could use my usual workflow.

Anyway: thank you very much for your time and thanks a lot for this very valuable tool!

I'm definately buying that tutorial!

Every new post on this thread reminds me of this:

The next CatchUp has a step by step for those already familiar image editors like photoshop. It's pretty incredible.

Must agree on the dirt!
@ Alvis: I managed to model it anyway but it doesn't come as good as yours and it took me a looooooooooooooooooooong (and it's still not long enough...) time.

I still wish I knew how to look at this to model this properly.
Thanks for giving it a try Alvis, I appreciate
Nicolas

Thank you very much TIG, I'll check that tomorrow!

Rich,

It is an app I'd installed to backup my phone's contacts onmy computer... It's called NOkia Ovi Suite. Made me laugh a while

Here's the Console message from my other computer (which doesn't have the Nokia suite installed... You never know...

I think this time Image Trimmer didn't do anything while it looked like it didn't do anything!

Alright, I might be a little ambitious there but I have this logo which is a perfect example of things I usually would want to outline.
Usually I open these vector logos in Illustrator, export it to dwg, import in SU and make faces et voilà.

But with this one, I get a bad export from Illustrator which I don't know how to clean:

So I turned to ImageTrimmer and blessed TIG and all the ruby programmers one more time ( ).

But, believe it or not, when I open this png logo as an image in SU, save the file and launch ImageTrimmer, the statusbar appears and at the same time it opens my Nokia Ovi Store app ( ), then stops and nothing happens...

What do you think f that (especially the Nokia part )?

Just when I thought I was understanding Artisan a bit, I'm coming across this very simple sofa (http://www.driade.com/home.php?idT=1&idST=1&idC=3&idP=2023&pagProd=leeon_3p&pop=0&clickP=true) I have to model but I'm stuck with the cushions...

I think I did a good job on the feet but I can't seem to get the rest right...
So if any of you have any suggestion to take me out of this, I'll take it!

Thanks a lot for reading!

Alright, I remained silent so far but this is it: I'm very impressed by your very inspiring work (I have a Davidh folder in my inspiration folder...).

I think I'm not only speaking for myself when I say a hint at your post-pro techniques would be very much apreciated!

Thanks a lot and just keep them coming!
Nicolas

is all that comes to my mind...

Hi,
I reworked the chair a little and tried the table.
