In Development: Subdivide and Smooth
-
Can't... wait... any... more...
must... have... plugin...
-
..it would feel even more 'sketchup' if iterations or other were typed in the 'vcb' rather than a dialog box..
-
Clearly a milestone. Congratulations, Whaat.

Fletch is right, Google should hire you.
I really appreciate all of the kind words and excitement! I can't all of the credit. I was fortunate to find some very useful information on the internet about how to implement subdivision surfaces (A factored approach to subdivision surfaces by Joe Warren, Scott Schaefer Rice University)
Without the work of others, I would never have come up with this. I think some of the other Ruby scripters deserve more credit. There are some amazing Ruby's out there that I am in awe of. SketchyFFD, JPP, OffsetSurface, SketchyPhysics, to name a few...
-
u are wrong all credit is your because u are the first who did it
we don t care where u got the ideea or else u re the guy who did it.
cheers!

..starting to be like the oscar night but i agree with all praise..
to add to that .. without GOD no sketchup, without sketchup no rubies, without whaat no subdivide and smooth, without subdivide and smooth...

wow, this plug in gets more intriguing every time i see it

Hey whaat, I have a suggestion which I think might be useful. Instead of having to click each of the edges or vertices to be creased, why don't you let the user select all the edges he wants, then click a button (crease), and a dialog pops up, asking the user whether he wants to crease edges, vertices (those at the intersection of selected edges), or both.
That should make it a lot easier, especially in the case of curved edges that become broken up so you'd have to click each little line.
It's just a suggestion though, the plugin's still great as it is.
Edit: And maybe the same thing to de-crease (
) the edges. Select them, press a de-crease button, etc. -
WOW Whaat!!!
Been on holidays for a while and come back and see this; SU just screamed out to the free form community big time!!!I will follow this thread with much interest and anticipation....

Hey Whaat! When do you think this awsome Plug-in will be uploaded? I cant wait. Im so surprised at what it can do

I said this 2-3 weeks ago, but I think it will be released in 2-3 weeks
testing is going pretty well so that's a good sign.

Wow! You read my mind! I mean... I read your mind! I mean... oh never mind!
@RayOchoa: Yeah I have the weld plugin, but it doesn't always work everytime. Besides, that way you'll have no control over the vertices. But fortunately whaat already has it covered!

Oh okay thats cool. Man, i just hope this plugin comes in soon.
@Whaat! How bout lettin us give it a little test run? Can you post an attatchment for a few days? -
Still waiting patiently for this script. Every day I come in just to check this thread for a release.

I saw the YOu tubes on this. Pretty great stuff. can't wait for it!!!

This is excerpt of an email from a friend of mine who uses Lightwave extensively.
"Awesome! ...Subdivision modeling is very powerful. That's pretty much the only type of modeling I do in LightWave nowadays. Do you know if this is Catmull-Clark subdivision? The results look like it might be. ....This is definitely a great addition to SketchUp. It would be awesome if you could import LW sub-d meshes into SketchUp and vise-versa."
Regards, John

... have patience people! it's a virtue, and is usually greatly rewarded! -
