I am back with more uncommon items today. Sometimes you need something better than stools or tavern benches in your houses, some classy stuff to sit on, something worthy a king or a nobleman, and that is todays task.

We start Cheetah3D today too, and create a box, and a cylinder.

kt01

Both are sized to be just thin as a slice.

Now, we start up FilterForge to make is some nice textures, I though wicker chair style wood weaves would be great. Here are a nice wood weave and its bump map.

We create a material and attach it to the two objects we have created.

kt04

Now, we make another box and another cylinder, copy each and size the smaller but wider so we can use Boolean operations to remove the inner part.

kt05

We use one of our wood textures and apply that to the frames.

kt06

Now, we create a torus.

kt07

We change the ring size to be about the size of a leg (yes I did some legs but as they do not show in the top down view, I dropped that part). Then we stretch it horizontally.

kt08

We use a box and a boolean operation to remove the bottom of the torus, and then we use a modifier to straighten out the legs.

kt09

Now, we use the bend modifier to bend the back a little.

kt10

Now, we add a small piece between the two legs of the chair back, and bend that also. Then we move back to the square chair, and ass a few wood pieces as a frame, and use the array tool to create 7 pieces for the back. We add wood texture to all those pieces, and to the round chair back piece.

kt11

We render the chairs, but I thought maybe, some white painted chairs, with paint that is peeling off a little or that looks worn, so I fire up FilterForge again and create this simple texture.

kt12

We also make a golden version of the square chair, with a red velvet seat.

kt13

And here we have a bunch of chairs.
