I never thought a Sketchucation post would ever make me feel so bad...
I have a sincere thought for his family.

Videos please!

Just !
I just spent 10 minutes of my life watching your video and pdf like a rabbit in the headlights...

Your plugins, your watercolors, your sketches and now this...
You're evil...

Hi!

Well I took some time to refine my proxy and came up with this:

lomme bed.zip

I think it's getting closer to the original but I'm wondering if there's a better/simpler way to achieve this than what I did?

Hi,

I'm learning how to use Artisan at the moment so I gave it a try.
Here's what I have so far:

egg bed.skp

Hope this helps.

Hi Robert,
my guess is it's the Artisan plug-in that has been used. It's the version 2 of Whaat's subdivide and smooth.
More info can be found here: http://artisan4sketchup.com/

To me, they belong to the fine design thread:

Thank you for educating me!
More, please!

Thank you very much for your precious help!
Take care.

Hi,

Sorry to bother you again but I can't seem to find the plugin you're mentioning...

Can anyone point me to this vector puller?

EDIT: found it here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=25293

Thanks a lot driven and TIG!

Wow! You're doing a great job on these! Congratulations!
How/where have you heard of all these chair models?

Thank you very much for this extra explanation! I really appreciate!

Model + textures + generosity = All-star!
I tried to follow your tutorial for your bar chair number 1 but had to stop there:

At stage number 3, I joint push-pulled the Artisan mesh but you seem to have a round edge between the 2 pus-pulled shapes: how do you do that?

Apart from that, I'd like to make your bar chair number 1 my default in my views from now on: Do you mind?

Thanks a lot!
Nicolas

This is brilliant!
Especially for me who asked for help yesterday to model a sheet of paper...

[attachment=1:1rdrd1sp]<!-- ia1 -->draw_metal+extrude_vector.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:1rdrd1sp]

there's lots of curvy lines in draw_metal then use TIG's vector puller,

and I'd probably use Fredo's Taper scaling as well...

Hi! Thank you very much for your help!
I ended up doing something quite similar to what you did with curve maker.
I didn't know of vector puller so I duplicated my curve and used Curviloft to make the junction between my two curves (longer...).

Here's the result after a little more tweaking, populating a circle with two different instances and placing three different colors spotlights pointing up:
[attachment=0:1rdrd1sp]<!-- ia0 -->paper drops.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:1rdrd1sp]

This is close enough to the effect I was looking for! I'll now have a look at vector puller to see how it can make me save time in the future 'sounds like it's gonna be a LOT!).
Thanks again for your dedication and have the nicest day!

P.S.: How would you use taper scaling?

Hi,

I have this assignment for a stage design for which I must draw my inspiration from this:
http://www.constanceguisset.com/index.php?/scenographie/le-funambule/

My client really wants to have paper stripes falling from the ceiling and rolling on the stage randomly and making waves and whatever crazy random shapes paper does...

I can think of a way to do it using curviloft for example but it's going to be very time consuming modeling a few stripes...
Hence my questions to you guys: do you think of a better/more simple way to model this...

Thanks for checking this!

Well this could definately be great!

Hi,
I was wondering what wrapping method you used for this?

Hi, I used the planer mode in LithUnwrap if I'm not mistaken. Worked quite well I think

Thank you!

Have a nice day!

I have been looking for something like this for a long time now and I must say so far so good. I do a lot of interior related work so this is ideal. Been testing with Lithunwrap and seems to work fine so far.

Here are 2 images I produced earlier on my thrid attampt:

Hi,
I was wondering what wrapping method you used for this?

Wow! Thank you all for your replies and comments!

@Pilou, oganocali, Rich O'Brien: Thank you very much, these resources are spot on. The only thing is I need to take some quality time to read AND understand them...
@solo: Well I have tried this and it looks good but I can't seem to import my textured rock back in Sketchup using Whaat UV Tools...
Edit: I can't even paint in Sculptris today...

If I understand this, I have 2 options to texture this rock: paint it myself or apply a ready-made texture. In that other case, I'll have to map it and stretched areas in my geometry will be... stretched

Hi, I just tried my best to map a texture with Whaat UVTools 0.2 on my rock model (my model rocks!) but was unsuccessful.

I tried mapping in Lithunwrap but whatever mapping technique I used remained .

So my question is: what's the correct method to texture this rock?
If you've had the patience to read this so far: thank you!
