Description "Designed in 1948 for MoMA's International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design, and inspired by Gaston Lachaise's 1927 sculpture Reclining Nude, this organically-shaped chair has become a design icon. Although it proved too expensive to manufacture at the time, La Chaise finally went into production in 1990 and has been produced in small quantities ever since. Engineered by Vitra of a fiberglass shell and natural oak base with metal supports."- MoMA.org

This is really cool! I seriously thought it was a photo, before reading the artist's comments and everyone else's comments.

Very nice lighting setup, but the model seem to be incorrect (shape, size and position of the cut off part).

Some AA problems on highlights.

Hmm nice and simple...like that kind of renders.

I think that the AA-Problem also appears on the edges of the chair's right side. Had that problem once too, and it wasn because of the render settings. In my case it was just because my scene was overbright on one side. I guess that happens easily because at one point you don't see any difference if the there is too much ligt or not. Maybe lighting it up in PS afterwards would help

...ging ja schnell ^^ schreibe bewusst auf englisch, weil ichs irgendwie angemessener finde auf solchen Seiten. Find oft zu schade wenn ich kommentare anderer und vorallem der kΓΌnstler selbst nicht verstehe...kann manchmal ja doch interessant sein

doch es hat mit den rendersettings zu tun. es liegt daran das subpixel-mapping und clamp-output ausgeschalten sind.

danke dir
