Challenge #6 – Spudmonkey - Chair

[Freak]

Nice I can see myslef sitting in that chair!

[gonk droid]

like the concept. good shape to it so far.

[spudmonkey]

More resizing and positioning, plus a very quick texture test. The texture is actually based around treebark and sponge to make it look like a leathery felt. I might go for more of a leather effect, though soft is nice. To create leather I would probably use a manipulated scan of my hand rather than a scan of real leather as it tends to look better that way when rendered... Odd but true!

[Freak]

coming alone nicely!

the textuer has more of a cloth look than leather, but I be intrested to see what it look like when you use your hand.

[Zabiegly]

Agree that it's more cloth than leather but it looks quite soft and nice to sit on. Like the bump map of the creases (or is that modelled?)

[spudmonkey]

The bumps are modeled in some places and bump mapped in others, like the end of the tubes. This was deliberately a softer material, so it's good that it appears to look right to you both

[spudmonkey]

Started on the screen and updated some parts of the chair (plus I ate some food )

The screen is still in it's too-far-forward position as I need to model the leg rest before repositioning everything

Edit: uploaded the two texture maps for the felt/leather effect so that you can see how simple it is. Looks quite nice when rendered though

[Zabiegly]

Cool screen. Is it holographic/seethrough?

[spudmonkey]

It's definitely see-through, so yep, it could be considered holographic, though I was thinking about doing something more obviously holographic too...

[spudmonkey]

Last update for tonight I think... The screen is about right and I've started on the footrest. The underside of the chair still needs work, but it's rapidly heading towards the detailing phase. The text looks a little funky due to the jpgs compression...
