Modeling a Chair with Scene Nodes [Scene Nodes 101]

This gently-pace beginner-friendly video will introduce you to procedural modeling concepts as you build a customizable Chair capsule using primitive shapes and simple geometry manipulations. You'll learn how to build relationships between parts with "axis" manipulation and arithmetic.

*Apologies for the congested voice and a couple coughs I missed in edit - currently working through a cold.*
