SubD examples and models

Thanks, it is Carrara the which is very compatible with SketchUp, and I don't know about Open SubD??

It's the de-factor subdivision standard that's being adopted. Originally developed by pixar: http://graphics.pixar.com/opensubdiv/docs/intro.html

Next version of SUbD will use OpenSubdiv as the subdivision engine - so it'll subdivide consistently with other applications that implement OpenSubdiv.

Well honestly I have no idea if Carrara does have that, however I have done several tests in this program and the process to subdivide is quite similar to other 3D programs such Maya, Blender and others, I am very excited about the SU plugin you have developed, I did install it a few months ago, I was trying to upload more samples but my trial has been expired, (so sad) Will post some other samples soon.

A little pub doodle. If i get a chance in the next few days I'll reconstruct it fully as a gif.

That is strange, it is my normal Imgur account which you have seen on FB.
The gif was too big to upload directly here.
I'll add a screenshot for you.

Here we go, sorry, I would normally post the non facebooked one here but I forgot to keep a clean copy.

A friend of mine just finished a reprap 3d printer and I thought to "celebrate" his achievement, by modeling a boat for him to print...

It looks great!
Hove did you do lettering?

Been a while since I posted anything here!

Quick model I did earlier this week:

I had a jpg image of my friend's logo, I imported it in Inkscape -> Trace Bitmap -> Save as DXF

Imported in SketchUp + Thomthom Edge Tools -> Simplify curves (I had to weld all curves before), then
Sandbox Drape + Fredo JPP

*sandbox drape works only on blue axis, so I had to turn the boat on a side for that operation.
** i did the letters on the plain mesh, after using subD and converting it into plain mesh.

Great - I love this little boat
Do I get you right - the 3D text remains a geometry of it´s own?

Wonderful - what a nice SubD model idea this example is again !
To reduce the geometry to what is just necessary always looks so simple but is the challenge
(would you mind to share this proxy here?)

So is this logo quad also? Is he part of boat geometry or is it by it self another quad model.
If it is part of boat geometry how did you do it and maintain quads on boat?

I do expect pic of printed boat!?

But of course!

I even did a video of the model, for anyone interested...
