michaelk Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Yep There's a video that will walk you through it, but it's pretty simple. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 @Sky would you happen to have a photo or image of what you would like to end up with? i may have something in my arsenal if you don’t want to take the time to model it. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I assume you need this for an interior rendering?? Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I recently started creating some native VW 3d furniture items as of late, to make these items available to VW users. I have a few dining tables with more on the way… Perhaps there is something that would be appropriate fo your needs. https://www.kskeys.com/category/3d-furniture 1 Quote Link to comment

There is an image below, took five minutes and I will help or give you the table cloths. There can be more or less pleats, etc. Edited August 3, 2023 by VIRTUALENVIRONS Quote Link to comment

I need a table cloth for a 6' round table with a 12" drop so it doesn't drape lower than the chair. Could you make one for me and if you have time, sort of explain how you did it so I can do them in the future. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

It only takes a few minutes. See enclosed file, done in VW2018. I will make a little tutorial for tomorrow. I have set the thickness and fillet arbitrarily. Having said that and you know how to use those tools, you an ungroup this model twice to bring it back to a solid model that you can reconfigure. regards....PaulTC_2.vwx Edited August 3, 2023 by VIRTUALENVIRONS Quote Link to comment
Sky Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 That is amazing - thank you! Looking forward to the tutorial! Quote Link to comment
VIRTUALENVIRONS Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Beautiful work. The table cloth was nothing compared to what you have done. I will post a tutorial tomorrow sometime. regards.....Paul Quote Link to comment
Jeff Prince Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Just for fun. Note how the fabric hangs inside and outside the diameter of the table, creating an interesting shadow 🙂 Quote Link to comment

I tried 'Create Drape Surface...' but results weren't good. Was it Sub Division...? Quote Link to comment

I find shapes like this are easiest to make with a Loft using 2 profile curves in Vectorworks. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Paul Good work going thru the steps to create the table cloth. I am quite sure @Sky will appreciate it 🙂 I did one too, but mine fits a square table. Basically same technique as yours....created two nurbs curves, then lofted surface, then shelled it. Works like a charm! Another method that worked is a tapered extrude where you can put a slight angle on the extruded shape, then convert to mesh to smooth it out a bit, then shell it, but I think the loft surface paradigm is better. 2 Quote Link to comment
VIRTUALENVIRONS Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Beautiful work Kevin. Although something is missing.....the Martinis.😀 It is quite awesome, although I would not expect anything less from you. It looks like you rendered in VW, is that correct? There are quite a few ways to make this, and the simple one is revolve with rail. I think a lot of people think the revolve means circular, but it can be any shape. I would like it someday if someone wanted to know how to model a car, now that would be an interesting thread I am sure. Kind regards.....Paul........wine time. Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Oops!! Forgot the martini’s sitting on the bar. My bad for sure. Paul, it was rendered in c4d with Redshift. I didn’t spend too much time on the lighting. It was just for the tablecloth 🙂 Quote Link to comment
VIRTUALENVIRONS Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Very fine work my friend. Have a great weekend. Paul Quote Link to comment
