Your work has always been a source of great inspiration and will always be.

I did some progress with this couple of models..

@Rich-O-Brien LOL
I plan to unwrap separate meshes at mid poly stage and keep them consistent with the "tile trick"
then I'll do the final SubD -
Trick or treat

@panixia Wunderbar! – such a beautiful model is a must-have at the moment

^ agreed, more to this method than meets the MK 1.

People often think subd is purely for loose organic work and can't be used for specific sizes or accurate models
Here's an example of something that needed to have flat faces and an exact friction fit along with a smooth body to help with airflow.
The purpose.
I recently picked up a new sandblaster. This one is a pressure pot extractor system which basically means you put the air into a vacuum cleaner that has sand in it and it is a closed loop. This allow you to use it outside a booth, blasting cars, large panels etc
The downside of the system is it has a brush fitting around the head to contain the blasting media, which means you can’t see what is going on. When sandblasting glass you generally need to see what is going on because it’s a bit more like airbrushing than savage cleaning.
To that end I designed a new head for the thing that lets me look in while still capturing the media. A ‘quick’ 3d print, and a bit of replaceable glass and tape and away we go.The result.

I agree, subdivision works for both organic forms and hard surface forms. You can be incredibly accurate in term of dimensions
But at least tell the truth. This is for painting your toenails.

A couple of spherical topology experiments)
...all of which are great!!! (I wonder how you made that second, very tricky ball)
never trust a skinny cook

The attached model includes the main stages.

Thanks, Panixia for adding your models above! (I had overlooked them and am very happy that you are giving us the opportunity to see them)
“Tricky Ball” was a significant understatement—you first have to come up with the idea of editing a sphere in such a way that it looks like two interlocking hands rotated 90°! And then in such an accurate form. And I'm not even talking about your following amazing skills required to create those “ridges” around the sphere-shape!
Respect! What a beautiful work.

That's exactly where the plugin I'm developing in my spare time comes into play

Hey, I'm excited!
If you need a beta tester, let me know -
He cheated with his new tool. As I've said in the past never trust a cook that breaks the spaghetti to fit it in the pot.
PS: I have tested this new tool and can vouch that it is beyond impressive. It adds tons of Quad based workflows and reinvents older methods to be more approachable. I would even say his tool is better than the Italian Rugby team.

I don't give a shit about rugby but I'm 100% sure my tool is way better than last year Fuwrawry car
