How to Model a Chair

This video shows how to model a chair in a simple manner. It was made on the basis of previous post Simple Chair Modeling. Here you can learn how to convert a rectangle and box in to editable poly, and how to modify polygons. Also you can learn to use modifiers extrude, hinge from edge, turbosmooth, copy, rotate and move objects.

Simple Chair Modeling

First I drew a rectangle than rounded edges to it.
I converted it, to editable poly.

The obtained editable poly, I modified so that I extrude his side polygons.

I further modified the polygons so that I hinged them from edge for 60 degrees than extruded polygons so I got the legs are shown in Fig.

Following I copied these two legs, adding two cylinders to connect legs.

Similarly to legs, I did construction for the back and I got the following…

I drew a box with the two segments in length, width and height. 

I converted it to editable poly which I modified so I moved a bid, the side polygons.

On obtained form, I applied Turbosmoth modifier.

So I got a seat. 

I copied the seat and rotate it and I got the back.

For applying materials and lights there will be another post.

Introduction

This is the first post on my blog where I try to help those who want to learn to work in 3d Studio Max. On this blog I plan to periodically publish the works in 3d Studio Max. For every published work, I will give detailed instructions for preparation. All files in 3d Studio Max format and rendered scenes, will be available to blog visitors.
