SubD examples and models

...SubD the best tool for the job...
which is absolutely right! Prima! -
Thanks HornOxx. Fooled about trying some other approaches just for practice. Abandoned other ways for SubD and “bing bang” it was done.

I believe I've found a fun retopolgy workaround in Sketchup
Of course is not as powerful as some dedicated tools like Topogun, but it can get the job done on simple objects without switching to a different software.
-
And what is exactly this workaround ?
-
I simply smooth all edges from the triangulated mess, then I draw some pseudo-quad topology with TOS, extract that as a group, do a quick cleanup using VT2 "merge close vertices", and then use the most overlooked feature of QFT (convert wireframe into quads) to create a quadmesh to subdivide.
The smoothed mesh is just a tiny bit smaller of course because of the subdivision, so you may want to compensate for that with a little JPP. -
Many thanks for the infos!

Classic SUbD.
Some techniques I'm playing with for an upcoming project.

hey - this tentacle-like "suction cup(?)"-thing is extraordinarily promising and superbly textured already now! - I'm curious to see what follows here -

Sorry, this isn't really a gallery thread, I should have added an unrendered image, so here it is.

what a beautiful example!
(do you all also feel that this smoothing process still impresses you again and again?) -
There is always an unsustainable suspense with this sort of polys modeling before you press the button!

Equal amounts of impressiveness and bitterness tend to wash over me depending on the outcome...
-
Looks a mess...and then it resolves itself.

That's yummy.
Getting your scout badge for knots?

Cheers Rich.
I remember being stunned by someone doing a knot way back when I was learning, so I like playing with them from time to time.
I liked the idea of using subd for it to make it a bit more 'loose' rather than the perfectly straight ones done with perfect curves and lines.Renders nicely too.

If you tilt your head to the left you see a guy playing a saxophone!

A little more knotting.
