    Hello pals 😄
    I've modeled an abstract shape made with SUbD and Vertex Tools. Then I've played a little with that shape to get a tunnel. Here's the process:

    Here you can see some standart views of the original shape.

    Then I've copied and rotated the shape. That's how I get the first ring of the tunnel.

    https://alejandrosoriano.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/QL_02.jpg

    Here's a couple of iso views of the first ring.

    I've copied the ring several times using symmetries to create the tunnel.

    Once the tunnel is created, the space generated is pretty nice. These two pics were taken inside the tunnel. The second one is subdivided with SUbD.

    Finally, here's an animation through the tunnel.

      👍 😲 - this is a most impressive geometry exercise and the fly-through effect in the video: just overwhelming! Thanks for this wonderful contribution!
      (no idea how you made the curved origin geometry, so this fits together as a loop ? 😄 )

        I'm attaching some pics of how I made the curved geometry.

        Here's a gif of how I twisted the curved shape using Vertex Tools.

        https://alejandrosoriano.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/QL_41.gif

        Once I got the shape, I made a symmetry, so the beginning and the end of the shape can fit in. If you need any other explanation, please ask 😄

          AUAAA ! 😄 So much "simplicity" is too complicated for me 😉
          I always forget that the effect of vertex tools can be extended to any range
          Thanks !!

                    really impressive! but did the quads break-up after twisting / deformation?

                      Vertex Tools is a quad-friendly extension so it keeps the quads after the twist or any other further operation. It's a great tool!

                        Just for fun. About 10 minutes including the render.

                          WOW !! 👍 ... and even if it would have taken a 100 minutes, such a great result!!
                          (you are using a great tool chain - is Tig´s Fracture creating "SubDable" parts out of the box ( 😛 ) instantly or is there still some fine tuning necessary?)

                            Thanks HornOxx.
                            No tweaking necessary, not for this at least.
                            It doesn't form quads but they aren't needed for something this random.

                              Here's a quick simple one.
                              You can use more blocks with different materials to get a mixture of stones.

                                ... a great example and thank you for this short making of demo which suggests so many possible uses!
                                (and it's a shame that I have never tried MSPhysics so far 😉 )

                                    Don't try MSPhysics as it can be addictive.... Using gravity is the beginning of the end... Devil's work! You will neglect your job and your family, ultimately become lonely, impoverished and physically stunted. And yet you can't stop and you will always want to achieve more... And you will get it... 😎

                                        A Music inspired Work

                                        This work is not what it looks like at first sight but a scene taken from the musical film from Pink Floyd`s "The Wall".

                                        The Pink Floyd album “The Wall” (1979) is one of my all-time favorite albums ever. I’m not necessarily a Pink Floyd fan though, but this album hit me directly and I still like to hear it over and over again. Especially I love the “Live in Berlin” version from 1990 where also many guest stars from this time were performing this album.

                                        Certainly it is unnecessary to explain that the scene shown below is inspired by the “Hammers March” scene from the “The Wall” musical movie from 1982 - some of the “older ones” among us will surely remember 😉 and the album I recommend to all younger people here who might not know it ...

                                        a personal note: Too bad that the theme “Wall” has returned so strongly in these times again in an often unreasonable manner…

                                          My wife and her family were some of the last "citizens" allowed to leave with no papers and no money as undesirables, so I know full well your reference. So strange that we moved back decades later and lived in Dresden for so long.
