Ed:good shot !


Thanks Mike for your model and for tutorial
no dubts:Flow tool is the real milestone for us,freeform modelers,in Moi3D !

quote: MIKE
Please feel free to do some nice renders! I'm thinking "1980's" school room, badly maintained floor tiles and those things we used to call "black boards".
Some 'ABC' gum under the chair frame, and some scratched graffiti in the back shell plastic would be a nice touch.


I'm sorry,i'm not able to do that kind of renders...anyway what you describe as an "heavy duty" popular chair,can be still actual and cool changing colors and materials
this is an idea using an advanced material in Arion Render: polyurethane plastic (diff+transparent+sss),it needs to clean more noise on image,but it's just a try

That's a cool material, M! Where in the heck were our cool translucent chairs?

They would have been all the rage back in the '90's when Apple made everything 'see-thru'.

Reminds me of the orange transparent acrylic chairs at a local frozen yogurt shop.

Mike-

>Thank you for your really great compliment! That really brightened my day. :-)

I'm glad I could brighten your day a bit. It's the least I could do for your contributions to the forum and to users like me.

>Michael G. has done such a great job at developing MoI to be so bluntly simple to use and intuitive that I feel that anyone with a little training can >realize their hidden CAD talents.

That is so very true. I came from a mesh modeling background with no NURBS modeling at all. I started using MoI in Oct of 2012 and it's been great. Still much to learn, but MoI has made the transition from mesh to NURBS a pleasant one. I've been looking at other software to help us with a particular account that often requires organic shapes, but also has some ties with NURBS. Modo with some additional CAD plug-ins is one of them, but in every case when I start playing with the demos and start navigating around in the software interface, I realize how nice it is to work within MoI.

>I'm just a tee-shirt artist by day

I'd say you could have a career in CAD using MoI, if you wanted to.

> but don't you get to work with really cool packaging design?

I am involved with packaging design. Some times the projects are pretty cool, some times it's a little on the mundane side. Every job has it's ups and downs I suppose. The problem I have is that all of my time is consumed with "packaging design" and there isn't time to explore using MoI in other ways. Maybe some day I'll have the time to pursue making my own creations. Maybe my own version of zarkows' "Mighty Mechanical Death Crabs of Doom"? He's another MoI Jedi.

Thanks again for the tutorials!

Ed, that is siiiiiick!!!! Nice 'graffiti/tuned el coche loco' inspired look. That could be done too. ;-)

It would look great in my employer's 18,000 sqr ft grafitti room!
Yes... my boss bought a 110,000 sqr ft building complex, composed of a four-story building and additional wings - and our seven automatic screen printing presses plus office spaces only occupies only 1/7th of it! :-/
So we have a graffiti room..... eh.


Thanks Michael C.,

That's my future career goal - something in the industrial design field. And if I have to uproot in a few years, I'll have to find a new job and it should be something I like.
Though, a degree would still have to happen.

I've got 20 years of graphic design under my belt, but I know I've also had a proficiency in CAD and physical design type implementation since my youth.
Of course, one talent enhances another.

I took something like six credits of drafting in high school (the old-fashioned kind) because I loved it so much and even designed a 32-page plan set for a spaceship concept instead of a house like everyone else.
Funny, I had to help teach the graphics class to fill in my schedule, but never too a single art class.
But I've always been into building gadgets and tinkering with electronics. Lots and lots of concept sketches in my time... so maybe...

Oh man, guys!... here's a small snapshot of the 32-page high school ship project: I was only 17 years old!
...was it 1989? That was sooo long ago.

I used a program called "Halo" on my dad's 8086 IBM "clone" to draw the bottom portion, which came out of an Olivetti dot matrix printer, then onto some clear acetate sheets via Xerox machine, then through the 3M blueprint developer.



Although, maybe MoI is giving me too much confidence. ;-)

Maukin, Sorry to say this is not a MoI feature.

MoI has a script for capturing the screen image to memory.

code:
script:var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( v != null ) { moi.view.lineWidth = 2; v.renderToClipboard( 2400, 1200 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; }


I use Adobe Photoshop to blend different captures to give the illusion of transparency.

Mike

Hi Mukhin, MoI does not currently have any mechanism in it to make objects transparent.

You can however, enable a "hidden-line" edge display which will draw hidden edges and curves in a faint dashed line style and allow them to be accessed even when they are behind solid objects. It gives a kind of pseudo transparency effect in some cases.

To turn that hidden line display on or off use the checkbox under View > "Display hidden lines".


EDIT: ok I didn't understand at first that you were asking about how he made the images in the tutorial above...


- Michael

Thanks to Pilou and Didier for the idea: I'm going to play a bit with this Sketchfab thing...



It would be a nice idea to occasionally show an interactive preview for any given tutorial.

Cool!
Have you the code of the share "Embeded" chair on a site ?
I don't see this code on my old computer! I have not all the options!

code:
<iframe frameborder="0" height="800" width="800" src="http://skfb.ly/m4ji3gedb?autostart=1&transparent=1&autospin=1&controls=0"></iframe>


Pilou, I'll try to remember to send you the "iframe" script if I happen to post a model.

I'm beginning to like Sketchfab. They let you do nice things with the materials and you can customize your "iframe" a little.
ex:
autostart=1
transparent=1
autospin=1
controls=0
Just think of the extras they give you if you actually pay? But with larger model sized comes longer download times.
So use sparingly.



By the way, the 'autospin' can accept other numbers besides '1' and '0'... this nightmare is set to '130'! ;-)

A little aside from the subject, but "chair" related... However, WOW!



http://www.hermanmiller.com/content/hermanmiller/english/products/categories/seating.html

This one makes me think: "1960's jetliner".

They provide files to incorporate their products into your scene models. (helps sales, of course)

Unfortunately, no NURBS versions, but great study none the less.

(why am I so excited about this?... must be the caffeine... why am I now discovering this cool design?)

Ok, Mikey gonna study him some high-end furniture... can't promise tutorials. ;-)
