SubD examples and models

... a simple beverage can and a trial with texturing

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?

im happy anyways with how the shoe is taking shape..

Tried 3 methods.. but i couldnt even show it...So how do i lace this shoe?... proxy attached in case..

It subdivided fine for me...

Works for me.

It doesn't work for me. I have sent the bug. I get one every time I try it.

I thought this was happening only with this model, but it seems it happens with all. I don't remember doing any changes later. This is a bit strange. Maybe Thomas has some hints from the error I sent his way.

Edit

Thomas, have you released any updates recently ?
When I went to Welcomne to SubD panel it said a new version is available. Then I went to SCF pluginstore and installed SubD. Now it seems to work.

You where running an expired beta build. Guess you didn't update after the release.

When I went to the Welcome to SubD panel it said a new version is available. Then I went to the SCF pluginstore and installed SubD. Now it seems to work.

Strange as it worked until today !
I believe I didn't update after the release.
Thanks, back and runnin' fine !

The beta builds have an expiry time based on the build date.

No JPP used. I simply started with a hexagonal doughnut. The whole model is an extrusion from that hexagon therefore creating a printable solid.

Box

This is the basic process I used, forgive the wandering mouse as I haven't had my coffee yet but this could be tweaked to any detail level you desire and done correctly will remain a solid with a suitable double skin. It is after all nothing more than a scaled tube.

pbacot

That's nice. For some reason I didn't think you started with a solid in the first place!

@Box, another great tutorial for those of us who are trying to move further along with quad modeling. Between this and the other tutorial you share earlier today, I am getting the oicture clearer.

The other aspect that I have seen in you instrument post that woul ge nice to see is how you achieved the curved sections.

I have now downloaded the trial versions of the Subd and Vertex Tools plus the QFT plugins. I created one model so far. It has errors but I now have a better idea of where I should go. Will be trying some more tomorrow. It is not as big a mystery as it was before.

Again, thanks for sharing you knowledge with the rest of us.
