SubD examples and models
-
The model Kenan did is a variation of classic glass that we call "ince belli" (literally, 'slim waisted') and its designer is unknown (anonymous).
Here is a fun fact: after 'years of research' some guys in Scotland found out this type of glass is best for whiskey as well

Back to trying to wrap my head around quad modeling again. Decided to step back to some less complex stuff to try and get a better handle on using QuadFace Tools and SubD properly. Modeled a vase I actually own.
This was a real good exercise in learning the various functions of QuadFace Tools, adding rings and loops ( or is that loops and rings ? ) , using the grow selection tools and such. Would suggest just simpler stuff like this for "newbs" like me to get a good handle on using Thom Thom's great tools.
Posting a quick render and a shot of the model thru it's "stages".
-
IMO the render is excellent. I think this is really the way to learn how to use tools. Unfortunately, I do not have the budget for them.
Nice work!

ntxdave, thanks very much.

Pilou, when I click on your link for FFD I get an empty page in the plugin store. I have done this from two different threads with the same result. I have also tried searching for FFD again no result. What is FFD?

Thanks Thomas. Your great tools are even greater now that I have a little better idea of what the heck I'm doing with them.

About move vertex/ volumes you have this rustic one FFD !
FFD is on the Right Click when you select something who is "Grouped"!
(One Group = Yes, one Group of 2 groups = Yes, 2 Groups alone selected = No ! )Inside SketchUp as free subdivide plugins you have these rustic ones!
Or the rusctic free one Subdivide by Rick Wilson!
Else outside SU in Free : the last Subdivision modern one Rocket3F
About Rendering : the very cool free one SimLab Composer Light (max 1920 * 1080)

Cocktails anyone ? Another good practice model for me ! Copy of vintage cocktail pitcher recently acquired. Difficulty level up a notch with attaching the handle. Turned out pretty good, no triangles or n-gons. In hind site handle probably didn't need as many segments to start with. Stirring Stick was just straight follow me tool.

Use Thomthom's QFT Remove loops to get rid of the unwanted loops.
-
HornOxx, thank you sir.
Rich, Thanks for the tip. Know remove loops is there, never occurred to me to go back in after the fact and pull some out..... D'oh. Glad your around to point out this stuff to us who can be a little slow at times...
-
Rich, Your the man !!! Went in quick and erased every other loop. Handle still looks great and knocked quad count down by 4,600. Thanks
-
Nice.

Do you still have the original control-mesh? I was trying to play around with the model on 3d warehouse, but I wasn't able to toggle off subdivisions.
