SubD examples and models

I saw a lesson on modeling a car rim in a blender. I decided to repeat it in a SketchUp.

Very nice! I'm happy to hear that workflow from other software packages could be transferred into SketchUp.

Really cool timelapse!
I see you have the same issues as me with autofolds and mirrors (delete, remirror, redelete, reremirror, etc.). And to flatten faces you use scale?

An old and popular German board game
"Mensch ärgere Dich nicht"
A not so complicated SubD task - I know just a little Saturday afternoon exercise
(below I share the step by step model of the cube at least)

We call it "Ludo"

thanks fpr that info Thomas & sorry for the German claim - I thought it was like this

I don't doubt it's of German origin. But I found it amusing that the titles were so different
Though... I don't quite "get" the German name...

Again a very nice illustration! The virtual representation makes me want to play the game "brett"-hard and real again.

just a silly mushroom for now..
i've a bunch of nice test model from beta which way are too heavy for sharing here i don't know if thomthom is setting a gallery or something for that..

Hi panixia, are those mushrooms 'infected'

there is always something to learn actually, Ludo found its way to here over England (named "Ludo" there as well) and came from India original. Our tiltle "Mensch ärgere Dich nicht" means slomething like ""People don't tease you" or "Man, don´t get annoyed/enraged" which is a funny title because the man on the box cover is very annoyed obviously

Thank you Faust and yes you're right - now the right season for this kind of games is starting! - very real, analog "Brett" hard

Great SubD-scetch Eric - and just in time !!

Hello pals
I've modeled an abstract shape made with SUbD and Vertex Tools. Then I've played a little with that shape to get a tunnel. Here's the process:

Here you can see some standart views of the original shape.

Then I've copied and rotated the shape. That's how I get the first ring of the tunnel.

Here's a couple of iso views of the first ring.

I've copied the ring several times using symmetries to create the tunnel.

Once the tunnel is created, the space generated is pretty nice. These two pics were taken inside the tunnel. The second one is subdivided with SUbD.

Finally, here's an animation through the tunnel.

- this is a most impressive geometry exercise and the fly-through effect in the video: just overwhelming! Thanks for this wonderful contribution!
(no idea how you made the curved origin geometry, so this fits together as a loop ? )

Thank you for your kind words
I'm attaching some pics of how I made the curved geometry.
