Vintage chair real-time model

Nandx

I am working on this model for my portfolio and I would appreciate any kind of feedback. The highpoly is mostly done but I'm finding hard to get a nice clean topology for the low-poly model, so any comments would help a lot.




Thanks!!

Reworked the topology, I think now the density is more uniform and will be easier to uv.

I think its interesting that you're making the low poly out of one single mesh. The high poly looks nice, look forward to seeing it textured

@Ashervisalis Thanks! I thought I could simplify stuff a bit by doing it that way. Might have been easier to have individual meshes for the cushions.

This is what I have from the textures so far.

Hey, I'd suggest maybe adding more polys to the curved part of the chair at the top (red lines) and rebaking. It also looks like a bake error where I've circled in red, but might not be an error, I can't really tell from this distance. I think if you put this model in a simple environment that was predominantly orange'ish, it would really pop!

@Ashervisalis Thanks! I went ahead and added a bit more geometry in the places you mentioned and also few other areas.

I also removed the strong folds that didn't really make sense seeing other references of this leather material. The textures still need some work to hit AAA quality I think...

Calling it done, had fun with these kind of miniproject, onto the next one!

With that polycount, I'd model in the X shaped indents, at least where the buttons are.

Hey Zac, thanks for the feedback. Do you mean something like I did here? I thought about it but decided to simplify it because I was getting a dirty and irregular mesh, but I'll give it a try. Thanks again!
