SubD examples and models
-
Nap Time........
Posting this for newer sketch-upper's like me just starting to wrap your brain around SubD. A nice size sofa type pillow. In the pic the proxies are in the back row. Pillow on left is "factory fresh". Pillow on right , I manipulated with the gizmo tool in Vertex tools to give it a more natural used look.
I think these kind of objects are good learning exercises after playing around with super simple shapes at first and you end up with a nice model for your library.
Posted the .skp file. It just has the proxies to keep file size down. Creases are already set. Just make a copy and SubD it. In the pic I only ran one iteration of SubD and got a nice result.
A tip for newer users like me. If your going to deform a proxy with the gizmo, make an extra copy and stick to the side. When your learning to bend and twist with the gizmo you can wreck things sometimes. Don't ask how I know this ! It doesn't hurt to have a fresh copy off to the side. Last thing I'm not sure I"m building my corners the best but it seems to be working.
My fellow newb's, download , check em out and have a play...
Oh noooo... ThomThom pointed out some problems in my original model I posted. Shame on me
, cleaned it up and reposting. Maybe now it's a nice pillow . Still think the unbent proxy would be a good sample to practice bending and squishing around on with the gizmo.

Thomas, not knocking your docs.
I never read it as such either.
I'm fully aware that they need improvements - its not the fault of the reader. -
Thomas, sometimes late at night the tech stuff can start looking a little like "greek" to this reader

.Or even in the middle of the day when terminology is used that you do not understand/know.

Dave, I do A LOT of googling to look up the definitions of tons of the tech terminology

I often do not even understand the translation in my native language unless there are matching words ever @tuna1957 said:

This is well spoken

Here's a simple grid construction of the SU logo that works well with SUbD.
And how it looks rendered with Twilight.
The balls are easily added as a cube component.

Centerpiece for next 3D BaseCamp! Round jello shot Bloody Marys in ice matrix. (Breakfast of course)
Very inventive rendering!

garydorn, that's the JPP toolbar in the upper right corner of Box's giff. You can see him select right before the pull.
<snip >thumb:
My question/observation is that the surface was separated and then "pushed" to create a second skin, which thus gave the objects' surface a thickness. I gather that was the intent.
An interesting process applied to single box shape. -

Yes, without using JPP you would only have an unprintable skin.

Not easily Baz, but I'm thinking it through........

I'd love to see your handiwork if you ever decide to share.

I second that, although describing Boxes' sculptural endeavors as 'handiwork' might be like asking Mozart to play us a ditty.
Sorry, touchy point with me, I used to describe myself as an artist, only to be asked what I did for a living. -

Cherry chair!
And beautiful render!

Throw in a bit of Vertex tools and you've got yourself a Dali.

WOW !!! hats off Box! this render looks fantastic
