After doing the desk chair I was still in the mindset of doing the Chairs and decided to go for the Piano chair. During all these model making I have also been busy with the piano itself but unfortunately can not conclude on a design I want (this will be discussed in the piano blog post). I had this as well a little with the piano chair. I first decided on the first reference image (see left image below) but while modeling this, it was not really what I was going for, and then Picked a different reference (see reference 2). This reference was going well for me and I decided it fitted the room better.

In my latest project I have done a chair and a couch, although these assets where more chill area couch and chair I have learned quite a bit on how to model these kind of assets. So for this part I started doing the desk chair asset. Which took me a bit since I wanted the frame to be made out of 1 mesh.

I started with the legs doing these one by one and using duplicate special all around to get the same type of leg for this model. I used separate part to do the arm and backrest and then combined these together where as I am quite happy with the results. As you can see on the image above and then below there is a slight change in the design of the leg part.

For the staircase I found a few reference images and so far the right one below this text really stood out to me. so I decided to Start modelling this staircase which in the end was quite difficult to model.

I started off by doing the circled shapes that hold up he stair steps an make the platform. throughout the modelling process I every so often duplicated them to create the stairs to see how it is looking in it’s general shape. While doing this I really had to trust the process due to the fact that I had many doubts going through this model. but besides those doubts I kept on modelling and after started doing the holds for the hand rails as shown in the images below.

I delayed working on this stairs for quite some bit but still came back to it to finish it. It was in the processing stage for quite some while due to the fact that I needed to take a step back to look at it again. After this little while I came back and finished it quite fast. This model really learned me some new techniques that I will be holding on to for my next model.
