SubD examples and models

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.

...all of which are great!!! (I wonder how you made that second, very tricky ball)

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.
