Hi! Thanks for the comment. It's an attempt to create more realistic looking cushions. you can use the round corner tools for simple shapes, but they tend to be very hard looking. if you are rendering, then it's helpful to be able to make your cushions look softer and more organic. This is a simple cushion, but if you follow then next video (part 2) you'll see where you can start to add wrinkels and imperfections that make things look more real. Also, if you have any complex shapes to model, then learning the basics here will help with those in the future. Hope that helps!

Thanks

You’re welcome 😊

Thanks! I have a few videos that go into the basics of how to use those tools.

Hi Aad. I looked, but not sure which chair exactly you are looking at. Feel free to email a link to me at jodi@jbartistrydesign.com. And I’ll take a look. I’d be happy to put a video together for you, but it might be a few weeks before I get to it. I also have one-on-one tutoring that I do via Zoom. If you ‘d like to schedule something let me know, and I’ll send you a link.

Thanks @luca-nd6pr! If there's something that you are struggling with, let me know! I'll try to make a video to help out.

Jodi good morning from the Netherlands, I tried to send a message but so far it hasn't worked. Thank you for your response, I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with an example of a dining room chair. I am having trouble drawing these round shapes. I draw all your examples, some with success, others less so. The chair is called Bee's New World, Lunetten and you can find it at the following link.@@jbartistrydesignsketchupskills

Thanks for your comment! Sorry for the long delayed reply. When you say sofa stitching do you mean showing visible seams?

Hi @stevespicer5275. Sorry for the long delayed reply. That is a custom toolbar combining several extensions. The first 10 are from Quadface Tools, the next 6 are SubD tools and the rest are Vertex tools. I put this combination together because they are the ones I use the most and it keeps my work are clear of clutter. The extension used to make this is called Toolbar Editor

Also, what is that tool you have of a white circle with red dots?

Do you mean the connect edges tool? This tool only works if you have more than two edges selected, and you have to make sure you click the check mark in the popup display box to apply any changes.

@@mariagalgiusiano6395 This is the show/hide hidden edges button from the toolbar "Mr. Hide". The other two buttons next to it are show/hide edges and show/hide profile edges.

Hi Adrian. I made this texture in Photoshop. It's for sale on my webstore if you'd like to download it. www.jbartistrydesign.com/3d-model-store/p/uv-texture-map-for-sketchup

Not sure what you are asking? SubD is a paid extension. you can get a trial version - but then you must purchase it from the developer. evilsoftwareempire.com/subd

For simple shapes you may be able to use round corner or other beveling tools, but you will quickly run into frustrations for any shapes that are more complex. Inside corners have a tendency to be especially hard for those kinds of tools

If only there were some better tools in sketchup for creating them!

I'm not so sure that I can really explain it. I don't think it has so much to do with whether the quads are planar or not, but where corners are created (think of the 3 sides of the corner of a cube that all share a point), the quadmesh texturing doesn't seem to know what direction to run the texture, so it errors out and makes that part of the surface glow red. If you can isolate the corner out by forcing the edges to be un-soft in a way to avoid the problem area, the quadmesh texture will apply to that surface. It is a good tool for doing rounded shapes (like the curved back of a sofa) but you have to avoid including any 3 sided corners. Hopefully that explains it a bit.

I can confirm that Thrupaint works 100% fine on QFT non planar quads (tbh it works better with diagonals than it does without.) It just doesn't like poles in the topology (and it doesn't like actual tris or n-gons of course). If you really want to use it on meshes with poles, you should group it in patches without poles and texture those patches individually. That won't make any sense in most situation btw. Thrupaint quad method works fine on most arc/profile/sweep/loft stuff when you really want a pattern to follow along the flow of a loop/ring set. For complex/organic geometry with poles, a proper unwrap is the way to go. I strongly reccomend Wrap-R over Thrupaint for that kind of stuff.

Thanks so much Marcello. I guess what Im calling a corner is what you are calling a Pole? I'd love to try out Wrap-R, but it is not available for Mac, which is what Im using. A proper UV Unwrap tool for Sketchup would be life changing for me. My method works (usually) but its a lot of extra work involved that could be solved with UV Mapping.

Im so glad you like it!

Im so glad you liked it!

Thanks! I would have narrated but the real time modeling was close to 2 hrs.

Thanks!

Thanks! I uploaded part 2 a few weeks ago!

Thank you so much! Without seeing your file it's hard to say - my first guess would be that you did not sew the top edges of the panel to the frozen panel. the sections between the pleats need to be attached to the bottom of the frozen rectangle, and the pleats not attached so they can push forward. (1:24 is where I do this)

@@jbartistrydesignsketchupskills thanks so much, I'll try it and ill let you know here!!!
