SubD examples and models

Have you seen http://www.mariussilaghi.com/products/quad-chamfer ?

Oooh, it'd be great to have that in SU.

If you'd do it, it would be extremelly useful if you'd integrate it with SubD methodology and chamfer it only when subdividing, keeping UV's, allowing for creases worflow to be integrated too and, probably integrate it in the rendering workflow too.

I didn't know it yet but if SubD would be able to produce that, it would turn into the most useful toy an architect that deals with archviz needs apart from the renderers themselves.

Thanks for that feature request Optimaforever, I really hope Thomthom pulls that one off!

Indeed, my next request would be that the quad chamfer only applies when rendering, a bit alla Skatter-way, with the "render only" option.

I don't know if it's in the pipeline but I guess that having the SUbD not visible when working and only visible during rendertime would be an equally useful feature. A kind of general SUbD toggle on/off in the SUbD preferences. The thing is, there is always an SUbD object on which I forget to apply the subdivision before pushing on the render button (lazy me), and having a "all subd on when rendering" toggle button would save my ass for sure

@ Gilles : Thx!
Model by Gilles above!

The trick is colored first then SUbD
Or there is another trick after the SUbD ?

very nice pilou !

I'm in contact with some render engines in exploring way to allow them to render subdivided mesh independent from what is visible in the SU viewport.

Thomthom, you're da man

Hi, Just uploaded a few objects modeled with basically Vertex Tools, and SubD:

Thanks for the planet, man (if everybody could share their files in proxy mode (1,5 to 9,5Mb in my example), we'd save a lot of energy!

You well deserve the cookies you get! My hero!

Now that'd be quite something.

I really do love the simplicity of modelling with the combination of QFT, VT and SubD.

Thanks for sharing that model. This will be useful to experiment with how OpenSubdiv handle UVs.

The hardest thing about having a shoe like this is lacing it especially when youre in a hurry....Im taking my time.. yet making this in 3d is proving to be more difficult than i ever suspected.

lace my shoe?
