Hi all!
I’m trying to make something like this sketch. I’m using subd geometry (first time using sub ds) but I can’t get it to look as inflated as the sketch. Also not sure how to go about modeling the seat. Anyone have advice for where to start?
I’ve tried piping, duplicating rings and subtracting them, but nothing looks as real as the sketch.
Thank you!!
you probably want to use kangaroo to inflate the geometry

@Lyndsey_Smith maybe the attached helps: (requires weaverbird to be installed, which you can find on _PackageManager)

by adding double edges at certain locations you can get a more defined look:

I think @danielpiker uploaded an example for an inflatable air mattressa while ago.
Here’s a little modification that allows separate control of the material for the sides:

a couple more links regarding inflation:
Hi There, I was wondering what could be an easy and quick way to 3d model the image I will post below. I can’t find a proper way to do it accurate as it looks like the letters have been inflated with different air pressures across the surfaces. Thanks!

@laurent_delrieu and @diff-arch : Thank you again! Both seems to work great. It creates super beautiful results.
I just wonder now about shapes like that:

The hole in the A gets filled. It seems to not work with two curves. How can your scripts keep the shape of the A?
I`d like to create a inflatable structure with Kangaroo, which is “trapped” inside a cage and is pushing through the open spaces.
As a collision object (the cage) I used a box and Multipipe to get a volume out of the wireframe. Inside the cage are 8 different mesh spheres, which should inflate and also collide with each other.
The collision between the spheres is working good but the spheres are pushing through the cage at a certain point.
And I dont know what Im doing wrong.

Just twisting it a bit if possible, would it be any way of some how make the surface inside the holes behave differently from the rest? make it inflate more like its thinner.
