      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 ๐Ÿ˜„

        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 ๐Ÿ˜„

                  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.

                                      Since the first post, every time I visit here, I check on this thread... don't rush it, but I really can't wait to see it finished.
                                      The skill and vision demonstrated by plugin authors such as yourself thomthom, is at times truly astonishing... oh, and by the way that is one very nice looking Charger in the demo video.
                                      Good luck sir!

                                        SubDs in SU? I don't believe it. This cannot be real. It's a hallucination brought on from a flagrant misuse of 3D modelling software... But then I remember having a similar feeling about Vertex Tools as well... or was that solid inspector? It's all so hazy.

                                        You know thomthom, you are getting dangerously close to making SU a full fledged 3D package here, and certain big software names might get a little upset about this. Watch your back because the 3D mafia might start taking notice.

                                            Well, when Pixar is so kind to [url\https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv]give away[/url] their [url\http://graphics.pixar.com/opensubdiv/]subdivision technology[/url] in an effort to standardize - then that's a pretty good friend to have. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                            The industry sort of seems to be going that direction to some degree... but then I'm sure Modo handed over a nice little bag of money to buy Pixar's love for their software.

                                            At this point I'm more than happy to see any SubD implementation at all, but added OpenSubDiv features would be stellar!
