Build a Chair Assignment

Oh this was fun!

Freebie textures are easy to find, in my opinion. although finding the right script wasn't as easy. I already, technically used a script in the building of my chair (the circular design was script-assisted, although I could have done it by hand), but I wanted to how a noticable difference to my chair when it was used. So when I found the 'mediate' pose, I had to use it, it was too perfect! The only downside was the positioning of the script. The script caused my avatar to not sit on the car properly. Although I liked the floating aspect the script made, I assumed floating two feet away from the chair defeated the purpose of the chair, even in a virtual world.

Also, I wanted to challenge myself to make an unusual chair: I had to find the proper balance between the regular look of a chair and how creative I could take it. With the virtual world in mind, I could have an avatar sit on five multi-colored pixels if I wanted to, but I might have to tag it with the 'floating text' script: "sit here" if I would ever want anyone to utilize the object. So I had to still keep some realism there.


Overall, since I have taken quite a liking to building I found this assignment enjoyable, but not necessarily without a bit of challenge!

Here's a picture pre-'mediation' script:
