          Thanks for sharing the ruby & providing the clear video, but can I ask what this would be used for?
          I thought the mantra for SKUP was to minimise the numbers of edges & faces.

              You could also use it for crosswords or sudoku. It has a myriad of uses πŸ‘

                    Well JGA it's useful if you want to subdivide a surface in order to use it in a rendering software which supports displacement. πŸ˜‰

                      ...and displacement is like bumps on steroids.

                                  Hi Rich and all,

                                  Your ruby tools collection is growing very nicely (I'm using your pen tools for a little while and like it a lot πŸ˜‰ )

                                  Concerning SplitUp, I am in limbo πŸ˜•
                                  I know what is a displacement map but I can't figure out how SplitUp can help 😳
                                  Could you give the idea ?

                                    Displacement needs subdivision of the mesh to work better since it does a real "shift" of the geometry. It's something like, for example, the Smoove tool in SU which needs subdivisions in order to work properly. The Thea mat preview is already subdivided. This plugin is useful when you have to apply displacement to a face (lets say a wall or a roof) which in SU is a single and not subdivided surface.

                                      Ah OK!

                                      The explanation is very clear and makes sense. Thank you Massimo πŸ˜‰

                                      The other tools I know which are able to subdivide are Artisan and FFD1 and FFD2

                                      In this occurrence, SplitUp is widely the better one πŸ‘ πŸ˜‰ thank you Rich and TIG++

                                        This is a neat little helper! Useful specially when preparing a model for rendering with displacement.
