SubD examples and models

Builder54

More Training exercises..

Needed improvements are

1 A number of loops remain open around the eyes and mouth
2 There are poles that have more than 4 sides. This is cause distortion in the final SUbD
3 Loops are not all parallel. Again this will cause distortion

Overall I'm happy with the natural looking form

Very good head! Is there some way the mirror boudary is controlled to not have a visible change in the surfaces' angle? The ear proxy doesn't show much what you did. That must have been a harder part.

Much appreciated Pilou.

Thank you. I find that that boundary edge between the two mirrored halves to be a problem. I try to manipulate that edge with the 2 halves in place to see if its either raised or depressed on the plane. Once I'm happy then the 2 components can be exploded and joined

I had done the ear a while back as another exercise. I just stuck it on to complete the profile. My goal here was not to produce a finished product, but to gain experience with quad modelling and all its intricacies.

Next exercise: Focusing on Poles in quad modelling, reducing their number.

Very nice! Thank you for posting back your experience and progress.

I love to see what people create, and hearing the experience helps me with future development.

Even though you sold the vertex tool and received payment,
You didn't give me a code email.
Homepage inquiries and Facebook inquiries are also unanswered. When are you going to give me the code?

Haven't used SubD in a while.... knocking off the rust. Mid century modern style sculpture. Bird was SubD and Vertex Tools. Posting the proxy for the bird and a quickie render of the finished model. Another piece for the parts file. Call me the king of simple stuff .

Great . Just the bird's tail should be a little different

Wondered who’d noticed the sideways tail . Worked from a photo of a piece from the 1960’s and that’s how the tail was done go figure ? Might change it might not.... haven’t made up my mind yet. Would be a pretty quick change .

wunderbar! A so nice small work (and a good metal representation in the render by the way!)

Nice. What a good reminder to keep it simple. SUbD does most of the work if we just keep it proportional. A good presentation that took a simple model to another level. Thanks for posting
