Nice model btw - can you show us the wireframe?
thank you. as for the wire.. did you noiced i attached the model itself?

that's unfinished btw.. i was planning to finish it in zbrush some day.. it was intended for that pupose.. ence the quick uv-mapping.. i would like to unwrap/polypaint it and maybe send back a low-poly version in sketchup.. don't ask me when

All vanilla Thom. Just drew one quarter with push pull, scale etc. Removed a few faces. Quick flip and rotate and Robert is your mother's brother.

Nice model Box. Did you use plain SU or did you also use QFT?
I agree with you!! This is great.......
What the heck is QFT? Also, what rendering engine did you use Box?
I still consider myself a novice even though I have been using SU for over 2 years now. The types of model I have been doing are rather basic compared to some of this stuff. I am trying to learn.
Now for a more serious question: If I want to use SubD, what other plugins should I use/learn to go with it? (i.e. Vertex Tools, Quad Tools, etc.)

I would love to learn how to do something like this. What is the best way to learn and what other tools should I acquire (also in previous post).
My grandson is learning to use SU in the 8th grade at his school and I would love to be able to help him learn how to do stuff like you, Box, Cotty and some others have been showing.

QFT is QuadFace Tools - it would normally be an important tool in creating meshes that subdivide efficiently in SUbD.
I'd recommend starting with this page: http://evilsoftwareempire.com/subd/quads
Follow the links that describes topology and at end there is a link to other extensions that work well with quads. -
Thanks for the link. Reading and trying to learn.

It is Brighter 3D done in about a minute with two su materials and lighting from the Sketchucation HDRI Studio Pack.

Are all the units in the last picture the same construction? Interesting that where they abut the hexagon shape is preserved but at the open edges it is smoothed. I mean, I don't know what else could happen, but are any edges selectively creased etc?

cotty, have you tried any in Sketchy Physics, etc...

I really enjoy these exploration of shapes and topology!

Learn by trying and failing and trying and succeeding.
When you fail. Post a topic. When you succeed post a topic.

All you need is QuadFace Tools, SUbD and Vertex Tools.
