Extrude faces on top ensuring that no other faces are selected

(save)

Use Multi Cut to create a triangular shape for the couch

Cut off sections and bridge them back together

Bevel Edges to make them appear more more round

Change of Plan.

I am restarting this couch and building it in seperate objects.

i was running into issues with modelling this one and have decided to start from scratch following the reference more closely.

For this build i am going to ensure that i am building the couch with different objects, this allows me more versatility in the design

It also makes any adjustments much easier

This will also help with texturing and coloring.

Finding basic Shape

Extruding edges

Designing pillows and adding segments to create a rounded off edge resembling a cushion

Ensuring that all the pillows match in size, are cohesive with each other, i did this by duplicating them, selecting them all and then stretching to the right size.

Here i have added an extra border around the cushions, this was taken from the reference.

I really wanted to stay close tot eh reference and not stray away from it too far.

This is important so that my group does not have to deal with surprises.

Working on the upper shape of the backrest.

Building the top part of the backrest.

I did this curved corner by multi cut a rectangle at 80% and then extrude the second half at a 90 degree angle, they were then rounded of by segments.

I also rounded off the armrests.

Time to texture

Coloring and texturing pillows using Standard surface – Preset – “milk”

I have now texutred the couch

• i am happy with the similarities between it and the references
• this is a centered .fbx file
• cohesive colors that match the table
• build is simple and matches the theme
