Some weeks (months?) ago I promised someone to make a model of a canvas chair after an image of Gil Elvgren. Because lack of time and because I wasn't quite satisfied with it, I never finished it . There was also another guy who also made a model so I thought it wasn't that necessary. But I still wanted to finish it and last weekend, I did had some time to do the job. I have redone the original model: The one I  first  made was copied of a foldable model I had in my shed. I found some old pictures with examples of the same but rigid chair. Those ones were much wider than my example, so I remodelled the whole thing. The model came out quite nice and I wanted and I wanted to make  a dynamic model of it in Poser. The first attempts were quite disastrous: I made a rigid part: the frame and a dynamic part: the seat, I set-up the simulation in the cloth-room, but everytime Vicky dropped her fat bum in it, the whole  seat exploded which was quite amusing to see but not my real intention. I did some research and after reading the flag-cloth tutorial of Serge Marck I learned that to make a figure of it. I did so in the setup room, making two bodyparts with some unused bones. After that I tried the simulation again and I finally succeeded with an im"press"ive result. After some finetuning and texturing the model is ready, I only have to write a "howto"manual. and then I will post it as a freebie in the next two days. I'm so pleased with the result that I'm thinking of making more of these rigid-dynamic models : Anyone interested in a hammock?

Next post is a sample....
