Title: Leather weaving
Post by: Thibaut on July 16, 2022, 12:06:36 pm

Hello community :)
This is my first post.

I want to create this leather weaving and apply it to the seat of my footstool.

Here is my 3d object.

I broke down the weaving into 3 elements, grouped in a Compose operator.

I created a spline for the clipping area which is slightly taller and slightly further below my surface. I also tried with a spline of the same diameter and at the same level as my surface.

Everything is going well except at the corners of the seat where the geometry is stretched.
I can't get the rounded shape to fit properly, even increasing the subdivisions of my base geometry.

Is there a setting that would allow me to optimize the result, without or with a minimum of stretching?

Thanks for your help :)

You did the best you can. RC project only on the Z axis until it hits the surface.

I think Paul has some insane technique, that only chosen ones can understand, with some unwrapping->wrapping surface but I can`t find the post with the similar problem he solved.

Thank you for your answer !

My second solution was to try with Marvelous Designer, 3ds max morpher and skin wrap modifiers.
But with Paul’s technique I don’t need Marvelous apparently.

I will post the result ;)

I think the best solution is using Displace (VR Disp) or the new EnMesh mod (V-ray 6).
