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

Here you go.
