      when then pipes meeting the surface are smaller than the parent it's tough to keep things cylindrical.

      i wish there was a Spherize extension for SU like Blender has.

        this is a good model example Hieru 👍 thanks for sharing!
        In addition to the model´s complexity itself I first assumed that you had managed to make a screw thread inside this cylinder 😄

          Yes, I had to rework things several times until I managed to maintain the cylindrical form.

            I'll put my hands up and admit that I cheated on the threading. It really wasn't necessary, so I just used a saw-tooth profile. I've done SubD threading before but didn't really have the time for this model.

              I wouldn't call it cheating. No need to use SUbD where it isn't needed. (Or any tool for that matter.)

                What I mean is that I used a saw-tooth profile rather than threading on the control mesh.

                In theory I could have used various modelling techniques on this and combined them, but SubD seemed like the best tool for coping with all the more difficult aspects at once.

                I even tried doing this in Moi first - because I was under the impression that it was supposed to be easier to model this sought of thing. The basic form with the tubes and 50% of the bevelling worked a treat, but it crashed and burned when it came to some of the more complex bevelling (where the small tubes meet the base).

                  Hi
                  quite similar to Cotty´s example just right above I recently tried this tree-like structure,
                  which is complete based on an octagonal geometry - This allowed me to start with only a halved
                  tree first 😉
                  The first finished "branch fork"(?) I scaled, rotated and varied a little before mounting it to
                  the previous one then...

                      Hey, that looks great !! - is this a SubD test or any real project?

                        This one is just a test but I have to do something similar. I'll try to post the final model once it's done.

                              I painted it in Substance Painter. Didn't spend a lot time on it. Was testing unwrapping UVs in WrapR.

                              Been held up on a very annoying 'feature' of SketchUp that was causing WrapR to fail on certain meshes.

                              We fixed it today so it's back on track for release again.
