NE56 Vinyl Diamond Tuck by ahimsa

This is a neat twist......nice work!!!

Hey yeah, it does look a bit like Crapa's cushions ha-ha, nice one, is this a whole new method internally ?

Cool. I'd maybe put a switch for a non-rotated design (I know I know, it wouldn't exactly be "diamond" tuck then ha-ha), just for extra variety. But I do like how the presets looks, very high-tech for an old upholstery style eh.

Crapadilla, so you know, I love your lounge lizard filter as it is, I just saw a potential for new filters to come from it.

I want to find a way to put a fabric type texture on yours, but I haven't figured it out yet. I tried with my woolen fabric. If you ever decide you want to do that to your Loung Lizard, feel free to use my woolen texture or any other fabric texture I have. It would be a very useful filter for 3D artists for couches and such.



PS...sorry about writing Crapazilla in the description thing which should be posted tonight. I changed the default preset as the textured one gives the ugliest thumbnail.

Thanks Carl.

If you look on door panels in some cars and trucks you will see this type of upholstry. The squares are the diamonds. When I used to make diamond tuck for my husband's vehicles I would take the layer of thin fabric, a layer of foam, and a layer of vinyl and sew them in this pattern. The buttons are a special type that you cover with the fabric and a metal piece with teeth goes on and you punch it down with a tool. You poke this through the diamond tuck and then thread a heavy cord through the door panel piece and the button. The diamond tuck is glued to the panel first and then the holes poked in. But you get the idea. The sewed areas cause the diamond shape to look puffed. The foam itself is only about 1/4 inch thick.

The textured ones make horrible thumbnails. I'm surprised anyone even downloaded it.

I resubmitted again last night because FF can't add the extra info to the description area. At least I spelled his name right so when you see it on Monday you won't be seeing Crappazilla.
