      You have my support Whaat.
      Knowing a bit about your coding skills from the users end, this will be another great one I am sure.

              I am a horrible modeller but I was able to do a half-decent model of a boat hull over my lunch break. Notice that vertex creasing has been implemented.

                      Whaat, I wish grate success for your work!

                        An early version of the scrip is available at Smustard's . Correct me Whaat but as I remember you took over Rick's project and the link above points at the same - yet indeed early version - scrip.

                          No. the projects are completely independent. I was not aware that RickW ever released his script ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                            IIRC it was released (on Smustard ) quite recently.

                              Sorry Whaat - then I mixed up something. Maybe the FFD plugin was passed over by the original author on the fly? ๐Ÿ˜’

                                why Rick, it's fascinating you didn't mention it... maybe you mentioned it very quietly? ๐Ÿ˜„
                                I do see you mention that it's not yet finished...

                                http://www.smustard.com/scriptpix/ccsubdivide.jpg

                                combine this with FFD and you can get some very cool forms very fast...

                                  Two subdivide and smooth plugins?

                                    indeed, i thikn the one thats currently available (courtesy of rickw) just applies an algorithm to a given shape.

                                    Whaat's script looks as if its a lot more extensive, and also has a more intuitive interface.

                                        Yes, Whaat's tool is much more sophisticated programming... but if you are looking for a quick subdivide and smooth tool while you're waiting for Whaat's lovely work to be finished, Rick's plugin does work for what it does! But, indeed, they are basically 2 completely different "animals".

                                          I tried out Rick's script. Is it just me or is it real slow?! I tried it on the pillow example so I can compare with whaat's time; the first iteration took like 2.5 minutes, and the second iteration made sketchup go unresponsive for over 10 minutes till I had to terminate it.

                                          Maybe it's my machine; I'm on a pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor with 512 Mb of RAM. I was wondering what machine you're on whaat?
