SubD examples and models

once you catch the basic trick, every plugin you are confortable with can be useful in the process..
(still missing a quad version of jointpushpull or any other very needed proper quad-shell IMHO)here is point tools + voronoi + split tools + vertex tools + sub-d + beziere surface + flowify
looks clean modeling..
Overtime, a good modelling habit will get us there. Sometime ago, I requested an offset that produces quads right away so that split tools wont be necessary.. -
Where are the SKP models ?

Thumb is missing!

For the Thumb and the rest!

I did this for something else but may as well drop it in here too.

For crazzy models you can use the incedible TopMod!
And Import OBJ by TIG for "SU MAKE"!
SUbD Low Subdivisions

pilou did you try with .obj importer from quadface tools? it should preserve quads..
-
My original start TopMod model had some triangular faces!
And some original TopMod surfaces are curved! -
i saw the triangles, but i suspect the "curved" should be simply non-planar quads.
in that case quadface importer could hopefully handle them..
is topmod free? that looks intersting.. -

Can you share the OBJ file?

Here is the result of the OBJ imported using QuadFaceTools:
Notice that it has less triangles than your original import - this is because the QFT OBJ importer will ensure non-planar quads are created as QuadFaceTools quads. In in turns makes it better for SUbD.
You can see that under the hood there are still triangles in SketchUp - but for the sake of QFT and SUbD they will be treated as quads.

Hi All
I've finally found the time, to install and start SubD, which runs very well so far and I love it already. I am glad as well, that SubD is finally here and has caused all these contributions which are great, even funny and educational all together.Now I'm working my way through all your contributions and the exercise models that you have posted here. Cotty and all the others - thank you all for posting them!!!
I understand why it is better to use quad faces instead of triangulation, even if I'm light years away to understand the connections to (for example) Quadfce tools and how or when to use these additional "Quad" tools - I´m starting to learn :- ))
Here is a first simple question
I show an example of Cotty - How is it possible to get this shown SubD-quad-mesh visible?
(I see the creases only and when I activate show hidden geometry, I see the creases and the triangulation of course)
