Cool design. I was just wondering where is anti grav engine thingie? On the first design, they are there?

Any idea of the number of models to make for your challenge?

This next one is some gorgeous!

If I count them right there is 32 models to be made.
I am a bit a chair admirer and it is great for me to learn something about architects that designed them.
1000 would be not a challenge but a life long project

Thank´s gentleman's for a good word, it is a bit more than comfortable and it did pass some time sains I did something out of my comfort zone but there lays the fun.
Next chair is Joseph Maria Olbrich Armchair 1899, and after that, I will model one more complicated, probably Victor Horta Dining Room Chair 1890.

I got as a present a book 'Chairs by Architects' from my daughter and decided to make all of the models as this year challenge for my modelling skills.
This is not first one in the book but it will serve as a starting model.

The chair is designed by Otto Wagner for the Austrian Post Office Savings Bank building and produced by Gebrüder Thonet company. I did use reference dimensions of a model they still produce.

Model is made with SU_2019, uv´s with Ultimate Unwrap 3D, texture and render in Substance Painter.

It is more pleasing to my eyes the second version, and it breaks texture a bit so my eyes are not drawn to texture first and I can enjoy your model as a whole better. Great work as usual.

Try using the FredoTools plugin. There is a ThruPaint tool for what you need for texturing.

Hi Fredo,
I get this message when using bevel (same for Round) when selecting three edges.
Is this tool limit so it just can´t do or I am doing something wrong here?

Also,
Thank You very much for all the plugins you have created and made my work easier doing so.

This is that part.

Great start, hope to see it modelled soon.

Great model,
maybe you could use some of this studio hdri for reflection purposes:

See here, maybe. ;.)

So I really do not know words to compliment you on this.

Hi there,
throughout the forum, I am not aware much about car modeling so perhaps there is the reason for not making a lot of support here.
I think you are using tools which will you get not far when car modeling is what you are after for.
Here are some YT vids on that subject:

Artisan plugin or SubD plugin is, in my opinion, the best tools for this kind of modeling.
You will need a few more but if you watch the video you will see additional plugins he uses.

Here is his 3dwarehouse collection:

This is Patreon page he has so maybe here you could get some more info on how to model a car:

Here is his Artstation page:

And last I think is Deviantart page:

Here also is Chipp Walters tutorial series on using Artisan for Lightcycle:

Hope this helps.

How about something like this.

I have HP InkTank and ink is a great deal on that kind of printers.

Mine models lately are over 200MB, and most of the lag I get from high poly models. I open each one in separated SU instance, clean them from unnecessary layers, geometry, materials. Smooth them. Purge them and then save them. Since I mostly make ArchViz I tend to use layers to show/hide furniture in rooms that I am finished with. For components that I have to model, I make the simple surface, make a component of it and then in another instance of SU make all modeling. In my main model, I use reload to reload component back to my main model. In the end, most of the whole models are around 300-400 MB before rendering. Since I use Enscape for rendering I make all heavy furniture models into proxies and then render all my scenes or videos.

BlendUp is no longer available.

Love that new OpenGL stuff in Blender. I hoped for that and some UV editor in this 2019 SU version.

There is a classic one time purchase option but without VR/AR.

So I am not missing anything, all new is here in writing, right?

Also, Fredo Bezier Spline plugin works well on flat surfaces.

Definitely on my list! Great job on this.
