table that goes with the chair below

A chair, for placement on a space station and the chair is all I have done so far. The cushions are a synthetic and a blend in texture between cloth and lether. The supporting material is another synthetic that bends to support the person in an ideal way; no manual adjustment required. There are wheels on the legs for easy movement that retract using springs when somebody sits on the chair.

This is basically the first thing I have made in Lightwave without following a tutorial. Let me know what could be improved.

Hello,

Nice work =) I like that the legs go so far down you don't see the wheels but that they are still there ;) nice for tricking people into falling. I could buy this chair is it didn't start creaking after a week, could you promise that? =)

it's AWESOME! ;)

no, seriously: I think it's quite a good model, but a little dull...

as this is the WIP forum, I suppose you're going to model the rest of the spaceship around it? :wip:

Thank you for the replys.

benderman: I'm glad you like the design; I wanted to make it look interesting and different but similar and familiar all at once. The synthetic is kinda like plastic (and totally fictional) so no it wouldn't creak because I say so :)

Thekkur: It's a chair, it's hard to make a chair exciting ;)

Yes, I have a table in store and then a room and then some corridors and then the rest of the ship. Just like when I modeled a car a while back I started with one wheel.

What do you think of the materials?

i'd say... spacy?

ALthough it's not really the kind of chair I'd expect in a spaceship... a 2001: a space odyssey spaceship maybe, but not a futuristic one. Instead of wheels it ought to have some kind of hovering device!

i like it - but i think some better anti-aliasing should be used in the render. the chair leggs are all jaggedy.

The little bulging things are holographic projector lenses; I'll be working on that effect next.

I think I have the holographic projector effect down pretty good, I'll probably be tweaking it a lot more later.

Also visible are the HIPs (human interface panels).
