Turned out really great Danny!

I'm still getting used to seeing such color in MoI screenshots... :)

Damn! How did you do that?!

whoooaahh , please could you make a little tutorial to share your skill on that....??

I 'm very impressed by your result

Alex

Thanks!

Ok, I've attached the two main segments for anyone who wants to have a look, you copy or array these segments to make up the size you want. Any questions, feel free.

@ Mark here are the lighting settings, as I mentioned before, I use this setting to view tangency of adjoining surfaces.



Cheers

[EDIT] I haven't had time to render this up, it would be nice to see this in leather........if anyone has the time.

Hi Danny,

Are you using these sketch > Sweep ?

Quite cool too see the lightning effect at different angles.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey DannyT,
Thanks for sharing. I never thought to network something like that for such an organic or soft body look.

Thanks for sharing the model Danny! I can learn alot from this. :O

Hi Anis,

> Are you using these sketch > Sweep ?

Yes, the blue curves as the profiles and the green curves as the guides.

Hi Danny,

Great job on nutting this out, making it work & then sharing it with all of us, Well done!!

@Anis, I've used Network to create those same surfaces & it came out fine using the Blue & Green curves you show there.

I was wondering and experimenting if the "Maintain Tangent" was used with regard to the sweep to keep things curvature.

Nobody ever rendered this for you after you gave us the file.. Here's a quick shot at it.. I think it would need to be UV mapped to do a very good job because of the segmentation in the puffed area.. I havnt gotten around to UV mapping yet, so i used a Box projection here...

They turned out great Burr!
I like the first one it looks so soft and comfy :)

Bunkspeed Shot??

Hi Danny,
Yeah it's shot.. A good exercise in learning it's in's and outs.

The first one is suade, though it can be better looking. I had to change the texture mapping to planar, because the UV's of the surfaces need to be remapped to work right with the Shot textures, but it definatley changed the look from the intention.. I think I will have to learn UV texture mapping to get the results I want from it. I am working on different exporting options to see if there is a way around it...

Thanks though....

For UV mapping this it might be easier to split the solid into surfaces before you export it. Then in the poly app you can deal with UV mapping each surface separately.
