Hi there,
I am looking for industry practices regarding the modeling of upholstery for transportation seating and furniture upholstery. In particular, I am interested in whether SubD or Surface models are used to model one or the other.
Looking at downstream software, which takes care of the ‘Squish’ part to create 2D patterns such as Optitex, it appears that transportation seating would rely on surface models as inputs, whereas furniture can employ SubD.
Would SubD be sufficiently precise for transportation seating? For those involved in such modeling in Rhino and using these as a basis for fabrication (not rendering), what would your recommendations be?
Thanks
Jean
