Hieru

Just a very simple bottle opener that I had to knock together in a rush.

The model and proxy are available to download from the 3DWarehouse

panixia

how did you render the wire?

Hieru

It's an overlay done with Photoshop.

I could have rendered it with a wire procedural, but doing it in post was going to be quicker.

panixia

progression so far..

Cubism !

Rich. Why doesn't your model look like Artisan looks on my computer (besides the modeling expertise difference)?

panixia

that's because sub-d preserves quads while artisan triangulates everithing.

Panixia answered for me. He took the words right out of my mouth.

What's Sub D? I figured it wasn't standard or "simple" Artisan.

Rich O Brien

It's Thomthom unreleased subdivision extension for SketchUp.

Sub-D is short for subdivision. It uses the quadface convention that if two tris are are split by a soft/smooth/cast shadows off edge then those 2 faces become 1 face. a quad face.

Very interesting, thanks! (I was perhaps suspecting some Blender subterfuge.)

Rich O Brien

...it's 100% SketchUp.

naaa sketchup isn't good at modeling organic stuff.. buy maya

panixia

i know.. i actually just use make human for that stuff .. i'm doing that quad man from scratch only for the sake of training/testing with quads and stuff..
