SubD examples and models
-
Box , your spindles are just insane
-
Thanks Tuna.
-
The spindles would be another good one for your tips And tricks thread.
-
Here's a study of a custom golf club I cranked out for one of the partners in my firm. Make of that what you will. Fun to model tho.
-
Something to keep in mind, SUbD and using quads isn't just about smoothing faces, the quads allow so much more control of the faces that make up your shapes.
The grid structure of the quads let me use Components onto Faces (onto Face Collections) to position all the cones evenly.
I could add and remove loops to thicken areas and thin others very easily too.
-
Very nice!
-
I'm happy to see how quad-based workflows have caught on within SketchUp users. For a while I felt like a raving lunatic back when I first created QuadFace Tools.
Always great to see your creations Box!
-
Btw, do you have some quad that are not fully QuadFace quads? I see some unexpected uneven edges in the back there:
-
Yeah something odd happened there Thomas. They look right before using SUbD but you get that odd line of wobble. It was inside so I wasn't too concerned. The QFT convert often needs a bit of fixing.
-
Do you have the control mesh so I can have a look?
-
... what a cool idea again Box !! - is this the way you created your cool "galaxy-like flying" lights recently? - somehow with a hidden quad geometry then?
but why aren't the prickles(?) inside too?

a well chosen SubD application example, Prima! -
The file is on a different computer, but I'm not sure if I still have the control, I normally unsubd them when I start playing around with them and render, as sometimes it seems to effect the render time.
So I probably saved it unSUbD'd. I'll have a look tomorrow. -

Here's a quick shell I'm trying to get right, but too sleepy now. So maybe later.

Just some late night fooling around.... made the little star shape.... now what..... copied around and such.... I think it's a bracelet ? Modeled big and scaled down, finished "bracelet is about 4" diameter. I got to get a life

. then I dare not to imagine what you model when you are well rested in the morning then -
I liked Hornoxxs Autoscooter model, so I did a quick scene before I went to sleep....
-
Thanks so much Joke - I am very pleased about your late-night exercise -
Very very new to using Quad face tools and SubD. Tons of respect and appreciation to Tom Tom for creating these tools.

Thank you so much @HornOxx. Seeing your amazing work in this forum has served as a source of inspiration to me. I appreciate your encouragement.
