Any idea how to model this chair? Specifically the subtle contour of the seat back.. I have tried using Fredos Curviloft without success. (Screenshot below)

On second thought, I'm currently using a demo of V-Ray. I wanted to make sure I liked it before I bought it. Could that also be part of the problem?

Those are great pieces of advice! I'll try them out.

How do I sharpen the image? The output is already high so I imagine it has nothing to do with this. Screenshots of my settings are below.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help. I think I need to do some tutorials on interior lighting.

This is with ambient occlusion

---

This is with detail enhancement.

---

Ambient occlusion turned on

The light is entirely from the sun.

You can see the lack of definition in the door in the background.

I am having trouble achieving shadows/ definition on high detail moldings (casings, crowns, trim pieces). As far as V-Ray setting go, I followed this tutorial- http://help.chaosgroup.com/vray/help/sketchup/150PB/tutorials_interior.htm

Any advice is appreciated!

Two part question:

1. Any idea how to model a pillow, similar to those in the attached photo?

2. Once it is modeled, how can you apply a patterned fabric (see attached) without the pattern distorting?

Thanks, in advance, for you help!

Hello,

I am trying to make a tufted sofa back. Essentially the shape I am trying to model is an extruded arc with buttons pinching the surface periodically.

Is Soap Skin & Bubble the right plugin? I have tried but the surface is not smooth.

I have attached my soap skin workflow along with a photo of the tufted sofa back. For simplicity sake, the buttons can be round, not oblong.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hello!
Probably a pretty simple solution here.

If the walls and floors of a room are painted white, in perspective, the floors appear to be a dark grey. I would prefer for this dark grey to be more of a light grey, in order to lessen the contrast. I want to do this without turning "shadows" on.

Thanks for the help!

Thank you Micione and Olishea for the great suggestions!

Is there any way to make the texture seamless? I imagine I could work it out in Photoshop?

Any tips if I actually want to model the geometry?

Here it is..

Complete mess. haha
