SubD examples and models

[Box]

Here's a little example of how I did the colours. Not the same model but a similar process.

"Soften" is a custom toolbar or an available plugin?

It's a plugin Cotty, one I always use.
It's ancestry is a bit muddled, but you'll find it in the store as Soften/Unsoften by CadFather.
I'm very happy to point it out for you as a thankyou for showing me Anton's Fixit101 a long time back.

It's a very underrated plugin, isn't it?

Thanks for sharing the name of the soften plugin!

One of the best ever written.

Here's a bit of fun, a woven chinese finger trap.
Fully solid model. I might see how well it prints later.

That's for sure. Amazing tool compared with the more known ones.

Do you have a SketchUp view of the control mesh for that one?

I do, but it's pretty simple. I can add it later, if you really want it, as it's at home and I'm now in the pub.

[thomthom]

I'd love to see it.

UV mapping in Wrap-R?

No, by using quad face tools I easily selected the edges to create the various faces and manually painted them with the old bucket. So the colours are actual geometry.

Would you like to test WrapR?

[Box]

A bit of a twist on a theme.

To be honest, as I have no real interest in rendering, it's not high on my list, but if you want a non visualiser to have a go with it I'm all for it.

Ok, but I still think it's a bit too simple to be of interest.

Does your 3D-printer print true color?

Ah Cotty, If only it did.....
