SubD examples and models
-
Here's a couple of tables using an array of a single SUbD components.
I suspect the first table should only be used to serve Jelly, or Jello as you yanks call it.
The second would be far more stable.
I think I will have to build them just to see how well they work in the real world.
The first one as a proxy, the second can be created by flipping four components.

Reminds me of this guy from the Snorks cartoon...

You've spent too much time with the twins Rich.
-
A bit of SUbD Bling.
from this
we get this.

Wow! would like to see detail on the necklace before and after and the links detail!
-
I'm in the Doc's waiting room at the moment. I'll knock something up when I get back home.
-
so cool again Box - how did you get the individual limbs so well strung up next to each other? -

That's what I meant with my last line about using your choice of Stringer. There are a few to choose from, from memory
Component Stringer by Chris Fulmer
Comp String by Sam D Mitch
Path Copy by Smustardor in this case Copy Along Curve by Anton S.
I rendered another after laying the links down flat to the body.
-
Here you go, Unfortunately I can't fully unSUbD it but you get the idea. Each link starts as just a square doughnut that has been twisted with vertex tools.
Why describe when you can do.
Like this,
then distribute with your choice of stringer. -
SUbD is very helpful when basket weaving. A bit of clothworks thrown in for good measure.
-
I could use one of those chairs right now...
-
end of may and already 32°C - I´ll take such a chair also Really excellent Box! -
Something a little different. I'd call it Modern Retro with a nod to Spiderman.
It's got that late sixties early seventies molded plastic feel but perhaps made with updated materials and processes.
-
Very nice!
-
Here's a little silliness for those that wonder about making parts fit together or that everything has to be a soft curve.
The lid fits accurately although it is a separate component and the rubber/plastic seal around the electric cord has defined edges while still being part of the main component.
It is made up of only two parts, the main body including the power cord and the lid.
Although I must admit I haven't created the hinge section, nor have I done the plug as there are so many variations of them around the world. Not many here would be looking for an Australian plug.
I'll add the proxy if anyone wants to do the hinge and their own plug.

Great!

Thanks Cotty, Boo
Something to keep in mind, SUbD isn't just about organic modelling.
It's about low poly to high poly. But it can be easily used on medium poly to smooth everything nicely before rendering.
Here you see how something that is fairly blocky, but not low poly can be smoothed out with a quick bit of SUbD. Sometimes you want to render a whole model that is well constructed but not so overdone with segments that you get bogged down, but you'd like to do some close up of parts that may not be as smooth as you would want. Rather than having to redraw them with more segments just for the closeup, if well constructed to begin with, a quick subd to smooth is all you need.

Enlighting!

I know that a lot of other 3D modelling applications are utilizing this in a much wider extend...
3dMax have the Turbo Smooth option...
If users import such model into i.e. SU, they look really edgy... -

But throw in a few blades and some hex screws...
