SUbD - Non-destructive subdivision with creases and quads

I've only been developing in SU2014 Windows. Other platforms and SketchUp versions will be tested once I reach the stage of beta testing.
At the moment I'm not sure if it will require SketchUp 2014 or not.

Hey, if you insist on throwing money at me before it's done - by all means!

The one in the QuadFace Tools toolbar?

yes.. that one..

It's a tool to draw non-planar quads. It's still in beta stage, but works ok.

I would have bought it since day -1.. as far as i can see is just as perfect as it is to buy..

Keep coming back to this thread, but each time there's only more drool on the floor.

any chance "loop cut and slide" is possible? There's add loop in Quadface Tools, but specifying where within the quad the loop goes would be HUGE! Anyhow, just dreaming

Can you elaborate more? "slide"?
You mean like a insert loop by offset from reference edge?

It's a Blender command. It allows you to place a loop by percentage distance between adjacent loops. Offset by distance from edge would be nice too

Yes, it would be very usefull.

Oh, wow!

the hope for a cleaner model in SU acceptable to the high standard cg world.

the workaround i use in order to mimic this is to select the ring then use "connect edge" with 2 segments and the proper pinch, then "remove" the unwanted loop

Yea, that's awkward - need a better function.

maybe. but we love you anyway. just don't worry about this and focus on sub-d
can't wait

Long time, no post. I just updated the topic with a new video

Cool!

Stinkie

Indeed.
