Re-modelling

          Seeing as I have desperately been trying to get my showreel ready I have been going over some of my older stuff so I could maybe go over it and make improvements. The first few things I found, which I thought would be the most fun to work on, were some chair designs I had made for my Casino project.

Here are the three chair designs I came across which I had used in the project:

I think they are all way too curvy, unnaturally smooth on places and the second design just doesn't make sense.

I have currently only remodelled two of the three so here is the end result:

 I am much happier with this re-model. I am not sure whether the front legs need changing as I am worried about their practicality...then again in the references I used there were many chairs which had that build so I suppose it can be left as it is. This chair just looked very unrealistic originally because of the way it had been smoothed. I did not know how to use smoothing groups or add resolution near corners so that the smoothing would give me sharper edges.

I feel that the second design now makes a lot more sense than before although the bits that connect the main body up to the back rest still seem a little strange.
