In Development: Subdivide and Smooth
-
Whaat,
Is there any news on this amazing looking plug in yet?

I guess I could give a quick update. I am very busy right now but development is still progressing. I have worked out almost all of the kinks and am ready to do some optimization work. I am very pleased with the current state of the plugin. I have exceeded my original goals and expectations for the plugin by far. Don't expect it to be as robust as subdivision modeling in Blender, Maya, etc. but it should still get the job done for the vast majority of your organic modeling needs (at least that's my hope).
Hopefully, beta-testing can begin in a couple of weeks.
Cheers

i'll just and distract myself so i dont get too excited. -
OMG! This is a breakthrough! finally organic modeling in Sketchup without the pains, thank you so much, look forward to testing results and final release
-
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. -
Whaat,
I would love to be able to help beta test this if that is an option. Feel free to PM me if needed. Great work by the way!!!! I think I can speak for everyone when I say I am extremely excited to see this work.
Best regards,

stands up
Pick me, pick me for beta testing... organic modeling is my only SU wish. (okay i have a list of wishes, but thats for later)
-
Whaat - seriously - this is my first peek into this thread.
HOLY COW!
Awesome! Got job!

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.
-
at your service, Whaatever you say!
-
i really think this project of this plugin is one of the most interesting one for sketchup (with soapskin maybe)
hanging on whaat this plugin is what sketchup really need today..
thank you whaat.. -
That is grate and genius idea to make such script!!! Is it ready now?

I cannot yet give an estimated released date. However, I do hope that beta-testing can begin soon (within a few weeks)
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
-
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?
-
why Rick, it's fascinating you didn't mention it... maybe you mentioned it very quietly?
I do see you mention that it's not yet finished...
combine this with FFD and you can get some very cool forms very fast...
-
Huh ? Now I am confused....
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.
