SubD examples and models

smarty pants....

Box

Umm, not really.

It would be nice to see what others are making with SUbD.
Another doodle, inspired by someone asking how to make a pineapple post cap. They only wanted a simple solid shape, but I went over the top as usual.
It's a very simple proxy component, radial array, copy and flip.

"...but I went over the top as usual..." and as usual you manage to turn the "simplest" thing into a so wonderful complex shape - I love it!

Work in progress. A knife, maybe a short sword. QFT + VT + SUbD.

Box

Another bit of SUbD fun for no other reason than it makes me smile.

All models start with box...

box.... very cool. Simple, creative and fun! Bravo.

alsomar

This time I've tried to create a GIF like the ones made by Box.

A couple of before/after SUbD pics.

Box

Excellent! So that's it for me, no more sketchup.

Then I could never forgive myself

Box

Ok, I might do one or two more.

It isn't as cool as a dinosaur, but it was fun to model

HornOxx

thanks for the nice compliment
I have a question about your cool geometry here: I still live in the idea that everything must consist of quads, what gets edited with SubD. You are showing a lot of pyramids on your geometry which seem like triangles to me. - is this no longer a problem for SubD?

Nope! SUbD first subdivision divides the triangles into three quads. So the «problem» is solved.

prima Cotty such a great & shared model - the render is wonderful!

Again and again I am drawn to the, how should I express this? "lively" figures - probably as a contrast to the everyday banalities? This certainly "Not Jurassic Park suitable somehow T-Rex" is made with SubD - Entirely of course ! Enjoy

And as always, the proxy skp-file is attached here

Edit #1: after the first more simple Dino attempt (because just mirrored) I now tried to give this yellow beast some more motion and dynamic (pic3)
