3D Furniture Rendering in Blender - FF:EP1

In this video we'll take reference images of a chair and create a model from scratch. Then, we'll do some basic materials, lighting, and animation to show it off. The techniques here are my personal tricks for quick, hacky, fun modeling. These methods are great for getting things done fast with [decent] accuracy.

This is not a properly rehearsed tutorial so enjoy the dead ends, tweaks, and thought processes as I create this model for the first time and give you a peek inside the mind of DERRK.

[benjaminehrenberg]

This is the ultimate channel for a product designer interested in learning blender. Thank you for making this for the community.

[moniquegardner]

I genuinely enjoy how lengthy and informative your tutorials are! Thank you so much!

[dayanvaldes]

This guy was all i need to get back to blender

For the seams i usually bevel the loop cut more than one segment and then i select the central loop cut, i usually use alt s instead of s to scale evenly from all sides and turn on proportional editing to affect the near loop cuts! Overall clean and really good tutorials as always!

[keithkool]

Massive thanks for creating the Blender content and sharing your knowledge!

[LinthusOriginal]

Instead of scaling in the seam or similar things, I like to move with "individual origins" and "normal" fixed in the Z axis, so all points go in evenly

To say you are an underrated artist is an absolute injustice! You have a simple, amazing, unique and unmatched style. I watched your presentation/class on BCON22 and I got amazed by your work and minimalist workflow philosophy. Therefore, I had to explore your channel. I don't think you realize how intuitive and educational your workflow is. I work with Blender (ArchViz) for about 3 years. In this video, I've learned the easiest way to create procedural textures for walls and fabrics. God bless you for sharing your knowledge and energy. Thanks!

[DrLazerbeam]

[GarethDissington]

You never fail me Derek! Came here for a quick re-cap and gained everything I needed.

[eustacebaggie]

My man you are God send with these turtials. Working on my chair design, and I needed this for sure. Gracias

[franke]

the world needs more people like Massive

[kbbk.studio]

Tip: "Alt + S" is the better version than "S" when working with fabric seams ;)
PS. loving the idea of furniture friday, thanks for sharing, Derek!
