SubD examples and models

[Box]

Yes Rich you nailed it.
It's really an optical illusion, the .gif recorder frame rate helps too.
Here it is with the spin up and axes, so you can see it's just a trick.

Somehow disturbing--too early in the morning for pulsing widgets?

Couldn´t you have said something like "I've combined a bit of Fredo's animator scripts with some of Thomthom's vertex scripts, I still have to do some finetuning, ..."

I would have believed it all ! And at Voodoo I would have believed as well

[tuna1957]

Still think there's some voodoo black magic stuff going on with Box's spinning, dancing thingy !

Back to the world of us mere mortals pic of a tufted bench model. Modeled when first learning SubD, went back into it and cleaned up early mistakes made. Think I got it straightened out o.k. Folks had a bench similar to this when I was a kid.

Attached the .skp also.

Spend half a day working on this Armchair, and now I call it done (it is not!).
This would be the first time I pulled this of doing armchair.

In render?
After modeling it I did not have any will left.

nlipovac, great job. hard to believe it's your first try at an upholstered chair.

Thank you Tuna1957, but this is not my first try, it is my first successful finished armchair model.
I have over 20 models that I start and never finished and on all occasions, i lost my temper and aborted them (with a lot of screaming and swearing).

Unfinished models are good practice! You try things you normally wouldn't attempt in these unfinished projects.

Eventually, all the unfinished practice yields benefits like the chair you shared. Really goo model

Thanks, Rich.
I know, I even started learning Blender to get some solid knowledge on Subdivision.
I do have some more furniture models I would like to model myself so we will see how that will go.

Your model and render looks quite nice!

Thanks for sharing!

This was a 10 min model to help someone in another forum.
Thought I would throw it in here if anyone wants to use it as something to start from and see what you can make of it.

Is it a self-portrait?

Almost Rich, but only from the neck up.

[Rich O Brien]

here's a raygun model i was doodling with last week.

now to finish texturing it...

[Box]

Do you call it Ronald?

Very nice by the way.

@box said:

No, I call it Ben. When you pull the trigger it over reacts.

[Box]

Good old Ben Gun, Treasure Island I think?

Thanks Box,

You inspired me to at least try: SubD...Vertex tools & Quad face tools.
I think I made a sufficient mess of your cartoon man.(see Non-SubD .skp)

I learned enough today, to know I need to research some more, before learning/forming any really bad habits.

Best regards,
Charlie

PS/FYI...SubD file too large to upload
