Also, you might need to move the blanket slightly on the Z-axis, so that it touches the wooden part of the bed - in my case just a few cm. Don't worry if the polys seem rough in certain areas - later on, we'll be making a material with a displacement map which will fix any smoothing issues. Due to the fact that we had some very hard-egdes, a Turbosmooth modifier has also been used to soften the edges and smooth the entire object. The Shell modifier has also been used to give some the blanket some thickness. Info:Instead of manually modeling the blanket, we have used the Cloth modifier to simulate the folds. After you are satisfied with the results, you can delete the 3d lines we created earlier. Finally, add a Turbosmooth modifier with 1 iteration. When you're happy with the result, add a Shell modifer on top of the Cloth modifier, and set the Inner Amount to 1cm and the Outer Amount to 0 cm. If something went wrong, or the result doesn't look correct, press the Reset State button to return the simulation back to its initial state. Wait until the cloth falls on the bed, and then stop the simulation by clicking Simulate Local one more time. Select our blanket object, and inside the Cloth modifier options click Simulate Local (once) to begin the simulation. Also, I've used chamfered boxes instead of plain boxes simply because, in the real world, almost nothing has perfect, sharp edges. It's much faster to do it this way than to go in and type in the sizes of every component part. The other sections were modeled by simply eye-balling and proportion comparison with the main piece. Info: Obviously, I didn't just come up with those numbers out of nowhere! I modeled the bed using photo reference, but as I didn't have the actual dimensions I went on the internet, looked for a similar bed and took the exact size only for the main piece (Box 2). Place the boxes as seen in the picture below. Finally, Box3 had these values : L:5cm W:5cm H:13cm, Fillet:0.15cm and Fillet Segs:3. I then set the Fillet to 0.15 cm and the Fillet Segs:3 to give us some rounded edges.īox2 had these values - L:220 cm W:170 cm H:9 cm Fillet:0.15 cm and Fillet Segs:3. Box1 has these values - L:3.5 cm W:270 cm H:55 cm. The bed is a fairly simple object, with the exception of the blanket - it's really only a set of chamfered boxes.
