Thanks Eric, these sofas are really nice, make a good training.
Here is my version, took quite some time though.
Actually I lost track of the proportions while trying to figure out how to get the button indentations right, but I think it looks quite ok.

SDS1, Weld, Tube Along Path;

Thank you Jim, useful improvement!

Thanks Rich and Jim,
the xpi wasnt associated with Firefox - however, the drag and drop method worked trouble-free.
feel like a noob, haha.

see you

nope, nuttin' appen, still this hazy feeling in my brains...

maybe its vista?

Thanks Rich for your quick reply. That is what I have already tried but I get the error message "file cannot be opened". "Choose Program from a list" does not show Firefox at all.
hum, maybe closing FF band try again?

Hi,

I guess the answer is "extract the zip archive to folder > programs > Mozilla Firefox > ....."
but I don't get my head around it. Never messed with my browser, and no luck on Mozilla's help site either. Could someone please help me out here?

thanks in advance

Danke Charly, der Link zum Bildindex ist ein richtiger Schatz.

Hallo Mike,

Es ist zwar schon eine Weile her, dass ich mit Podium gerendert habe - aber wenn ich Deine Frage richtig deute, dann liegt die Lösung vielleicht nicht darin ein anderes Preset zu verwenden.
Falls Du kleinere Bildgrößen renderst macht sich das Antialiasing (Kantenglättung) stärker bemerkbar.
Mit zunehmender Bildgröße wird die Unschärfe weniger sichtbar. Vergleiche mal zum Beispiel 230 Pixel mit 800 und 2048...

Es kann natürlich sein, dass ich falsch liege da ich kein Beispiel von Dir sehe. Eine genauere Beschreibung wäre hilfreich.

besten Gruß

Oh yes, I am a fan of your DWCs Allan! There are always some neat details like for example the flourecent interior lights in the first pic. The other two could use a little of that too. Or reflections, cause the windows are a bit too dark altogether.
Keep them coming!

Robert, I've asked Allan before, the entourage are all models, mostly from Formfonts I think.
If you look closely you can tell from the shadows, and also with clipmaps there would not be such a detailed line overlay.

oh, I really like this, great work Andrea!

back to topic: I assume there must be a huge market for software to make patterns for sewing...

I bet there is a ton of standard methods you have to know before understanding the process of "fashion skinning".

Omg, without knowing you did me a great favor - I was looking for this artist all over but could not find anywhere.
Thanks mate!
(I helped a friend to start this project: http://www.marteria.com/index_frame.php - sure it is just a copy... customer saw Eric Testroete's work somewhere and wanted it badly.)

This request sounds like a stitch up to me

StitchUp, pro-version comes with SewOut and Pattern Maker...

Sorry, I have not the slightest clue neither about sewing nor programming, but to me it looks like if someone would get this progammed for SU, he already went half way to make a UV unwrap tool. I remember one unwrap function in 3DS Max is called pelt mapping. Isn't it kind of the same thing how sewing patterns are basically working? It could be done with a papercraft application that can edit the seams ( http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ ) but I believe it is far too complex to edit every single triangle.
It should have some intelligent presets that work out the curves and control the tension of the material like that new plugin for creating textile sructures.

just some thoughts...

nice find watkins, thanks for sharing!

Hi,

Either not sure if I understand right what you are trying to achieve, but how about this plugin:

Woohoo! Go Thomas, go!
You are in hall of fame already, what are you heading for now?

Haha, this is fun - even if I get the worst one: Alexander Skoluda = ASEXUAL, OLD DARKEN

Alexander only is a bit better: RELAXED AN

Maybe ChrisP_ColorEdge plugin could be helpful too

Back again, and again holding my breath. I wonder if I ever get my head around DCs.
