Product Notes
This is a model of the classic Ball Chair, designed by Finnish furniture designer Eero Aarnio in 1963. This chair is famous for its round shape and unconventional design, this chair has become a permanent fixure in popular culture. This model can easily provide a classic/modernist look and feel to your arch/viz interior renders, or it could also work very nicely as a character prop.This download contains the object in a .max scene file, and is compatible with 3dsmax 2012 or higher. It comes complete with COLOR, BUMP, and SPECULAR texture maps, where needed. All textures are .jpg format, and sized to a high resolution of 2048x2048; suitable for high quality, close-up rendering. The topology is cleanly modeled from 100% quadrilateral polygons (Quads), with a detailed, but optimized poly count of just 12,480, and 12,740 verts. 100% quad topology means you could easily apply a Turbosmooth modifier to all the parts for even greater resolution, without negatively affecting the topology (the RED TRIM and the BODY of the chair are separate geometry, so any modifier you apply to one MUST be applied to the other for the object's surface to remain continuous). If you have any questions or comments regarding the use of this chair in your arch/VIZ or production renders, please contact me. My email is in the README information file, included in this download.
