SubD examples and models

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.

Good point...
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...

Yeah, might be able to fix some models, but I can imagine there might be problems with triangulation and SUbD.

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

That's extraordinary, Box!!

Box

Thanks Andrew but it's not that extraordinary really, just the magic of render software with a very simple model.

smarty pants....

that fan looks a little more work though..?

Box

Umm, not really.

It would be nice to see what others are making with SUbD.
Another doodle, inspired by someone asking how to make a pineapple post cap. They only wanted a simple solid shape, but I went over the top as usual.
It's a very simple proxy component, radial array, copy and flip.

"...but I went over the top as usual..." and as usual you manage to turn the "simplest" thing into a so wonderful complex shape - I love it!

Work in progress. A knife, maybe a short sword. QFT + VT + SUbD.

Box

Another bit of SUbD fun for no other reason than it makes me smile.

All models start with box...

box.... very cool. Simple, creative and fun! Bravo.

alsomar

This time I've tried to create a GIF like the ones made by Box.

A couple of before/after SUbD pics.

Box

Excellent! So that's it for me, no more sketchup.

Then I could never forgive myself

Box

Ok, I might do one or two more.

It isn't as cool as a dinosaur, but it was fun to model

thanks for the nice compliment
I have a question about your cool geometry here: I still live in the idea that everything must consist of quads, what gets edited with SubD. You are showing a lot of pyramids on your geometry which seem like triangles to me. - is this no longer a problem for SubD?
