How do I model this chair!?!?

Hayden Zammit

Been having some trouble modeling this chair I'm making for an interior scene. It doesn't look that hard. It looks easy as, really, but I just can't seem to get a part right. Here's a link to the reference I'm going off:

The part that I can't re-create is the actual seating area, where its black leather. How can I get it the same way?


cheers.

Show your model in its current state, both a shaded view and a wireframe view.

I'd start with the boundaries. The boundary of the seat(red line) is circular shaped which you can get from the outer shell. The other boundary(green line) is where the sitting part meets the part you put your back on. I think it's a sewed connection. I'd put a stripe of quad poly's where the seam is and connect the outer boundary to the inner boundary. Then add slices and inflate the transition area so it looks like cushioning.

I hope it's clear:

I wouldnt if I was you, it'll only turn on you eventually as all creations do.

Just start from a sphere, chop off half of it. Make it at least 32 sides I would say. Then just select that set of edges at the top he highlighted in red, and extrude the edges inwards to make new faces, and do that multiple times.

Then you just need to puff up the newly created edgeloops inside for the cusion part.
