smarty pants....

that fan looks a little more work though..?

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.

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

All models start with box...

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

A couple of before/after SUbD pics.

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

Then I could never forgive myself

Box · 25 Oct 2018, 06:15

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?

Nope! SUbD first subdivision divides the triangles into three quads. So the «problem» is solved.

prima Cotty such a great & shared model - the render is wonderful!

HornOxx · 27 Oct 2018, 19:24

Again and again I am drawn to the, how should I express this? "lively" figures - probably as a contrast to the everyday banalities? This certainly "Not Jurassic Park suitable somehow T-Rex" is made with SubD - Entirely of course ! Enjoy

And as always, the proxy skp-file is attached here

Edit #1: after the first more simple Dino attempt (because just mirrored) I now tried to give this yellow beast some more motion and dynamic (pic3)
