    Love this Eames model by the way! In my previous job I battled this chair so many times when the architects wanted to add it to their models - grabbing the super-high-poly from the manufacturer's website including all the screws and their threadding. sigh
    This SUbD version would have saved me so much grief when populating a large model.

    I'm adding a screenshot of the wireframe here cause it'd wonderfully simplistic.

    Thanks for sharing that video as well. I got a collection of external links/videos for reference material that I'll be adding to the website.

        I wish SubD could have a toggle on/off for an entire model or having control over the level of detail on selected objects (<-this is the worst sentence I've ever written I think...

        Yes! This is high up on the list for next release. Multiple selected objects - and I was going to explore allowing groups containing SUbD instances as well to propagate the toggle.

        This would be awesome!

        In a group, if you have models with different level of details (some at 1 level of subdiv, others at 2 or 3), would the each model's lOD be retained?

        But then maybe it would be nice to have an option to apply the same level of detail to all the models within a group...

        Well, let me say it again: I already thank you a lot for all your hard work on this: it's really appreciated! πŸ˜„

          For those few of you that aren't bored with my doodles. Here's a very fast nose to play with.

            I downloaded the model and, to me, it represents the real key for those of us trying to learn quad modeling. You need to be able to visualize what you are drawing in basic quad configuration. I think your other drawing of a person where you show the steps from just boxes to the eventual shape of the person are the real keys. You can learn to use the tools but if you cannot "see" where you are going, you are going to struggle immensely.

            Thanks for sharing this.

                I'd agree with you on this, begin able to see where the lines ought to go is a significant ability that will enable the simplest number of quads to produce the desired result.
                In my efforts so far, I seem to be modelling the full complexity of the shape, adjusting the vertexes, then retracing over with less lines, and deleting the now redundant lines/quads.

                I also wandering whether zorro might be a way of generating some the grid lines?

                  This may have already been addressed, but it seems that if you want to keep the number of subdivided polygons in a more permanent form, such as exporting solids for 3D printing, I think all that needs to be done is to explode the group while subdivided.

                    I think from what you are saying you may have missed an option.
                    Right click on a Subd'd group and select from the SubD menu, Convert to Plain Mesh.
                    The effectively removes the control mesh and the subdivisions become permanent while still remaining grouped.

                        And what if the subdivision level could be triggered in the scene's properties?

                          Hmm.... Now that's an interesting idea... Hadn't thought of that.
                          I'll add it to my list of things to explore.
