need help with louis 15th armchair!

[mtrs1976]

Guys I need your help badly.

 

It’s been almost six months now since I started with 3d max. I was able to make some decent renderings and my boss was actually appreciative of them. However I still could not visualize most of our design projects since we deal most frequently with period interiors/furniture. And period furniture is such a headache to model.

 

So since then I stopped experimenting with rendering and started to learn how to make period furniture such as a model of louis 15th armchair. Guys if only I can model Louis the15th armchair it would make my Christmas season complete.

 

Any helping hand there?

Spline is very flexible. Just follow the contour of the arms, back etc.

Clone copy it....then attach.....then using surface modifier you can shape the volume by adding more spline (line). I would suggest Spline - very flexible.

Learn the basic first from the manual.

Hi mtrs1976, I went through modelling lots of this stuff last year, and I'm in the process of packaging it for sale, but I haven't had time recently.
