      I have recently seen a railings of wrought iron, a bit like shown below, in Hamburg.
      The basic geometry of it is a square with slightly inward curved edges.
      I present this little practice in front of a backdrop of the old Hamburg "Speicherstadt"...

        ... and again a little "weekly" SubD exercise ๐Ÿ˜„
        with a small guide how to texturize the snakeยดs lips to get a color transition from black to red,
        done with itยดs own simple texture using Fredoยดs ThruPaint plugin โ€ฆ

        Enjoy

            Very cool. I really like how you used a texture to blend between materials.

              Looks very nice.. How did you prepare the gradient texture? With photoshop?

                Hi and thanks to all

                @ Kenancakir
                Yes, I just made a screenshot of my here used SU material library and pasted this screenshot in PS simply to pick these two colors for a linear color transition from red to black because I am too lazy to write the RGB values ๐Ÿ˜‰

                      A great model again and a most perfect one for SubD as well ๐Ÿ˜„

                      And - Like your pumpkin before - the texturing is so awesome again !!

                        Correct, closing in on final WrapR build too. So soon others can play along with me.

                                Loving how effective a few polygons are. Possibly this is a candidate for a little competition? ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  thank you guys ๐Ÿ‘
                                  actually is a useful trick that i use often, in particoular for food.. tracing a simple shape with a very "minimal" topology on the very same image i want to planar map to it.. then i do a first iteration, texture it with tru paint (and some manual tweaking) and collapse to simple mesh.. just to add a few vertices to work with VT.. i find that in this way the texture is more easily preserved from distortion.. after that i tweak it another little bit, i run subD for a couple of final iterations..
                                  i have to find a couple of italian salami & prosciutti i did with the same tecnique some time ago..
                                  i got the collapsed meshes, but i'm not managing to find the proxies animore ๐Ÿ˜’

                                    You Both are absolutely right - I am still impressed and gave this Croissant a quick test render and
                                    I am also impressed, how well such a very very small texture can work - Which again is effective ๐Ÿ˜‰
                                    Marcello, thanks for posting and sharing! I love this contribution very much!

                                      the fun fact is that the texture popped out from an architect's concept model for a bar/cafe, wich was filled with some wharehouse "gems" like this original croissant below..
                                      i ended up doing a massive cleanup of all this terrible stuff (all of this is intended for mid-distance render btw, not suitable for closeup HIMO) and as i noticed the low res (but nice) texture and it was like "ok, challenge accepted" ๐Ÿคฃ

                                      BTW that 313 is super!! ๐Ÿ˜

                                        Besides all these many great modeled and rendered cars here and elsewhere in the web, this one should not be missed I think. (No joke, this Donald Duckยดs โ€œ313โ€ is my very first ever modeled "car" ๐Ÿ˜„ )
                                        enjoy!

                                        Except the numbers on the license plates, the entire model is done with SubD

                                          Thanks for the breakdown, very generous, I am still struggling with quads and having a model like this to study is just the ticket.
