Organic modelling question

@unknownuser said:
You just select the top face. And you use the Zorro (or knife if you have Subdivide and Smooth) close to the top so that is the only part that is affected.
Thanks

Well heres a very quick first go at it:
I reckon it might work with some further refinement. We'll see.

Nice one Remus, you're certainly on the right track. how did you do it?
-
Here you go, did a quick tut.
Main points to note: this method gets very boring very quickly, although i imagine once youve done maybe 5 strand proxies you could just copy and rotate them. This would speed things up quite a bit.
The finished model is also likely to have a lot of polys, so try and keep the number of subd and smooth iterations as low as possible.

Thanks very much for taking the time to do this Remus
. Don't have sketchup on this comp but will check it out when I get home -
great tutorial remus, thanks alot. Can't beleive how easy it is with subdivide and smooth. an amazing tool. Nice one too fred

Indeed it is a very cool plugin, it opens up a whole world of possibilities.
One word of warning though, its very easy to get carried away and rnd up with millions of polys on a spoon, this tends to slow SU down a lot, especially if you decide you want to model a matching teapot to go with your spoon.

You may give a try to Topmod:

It is free and can reads & save obj files.

Wow, now that's crazy !

A variation on Remus's approach. It's not your Daddy's SketchUp ... subd and smooth ... oh my gosh ... the possibilities!
