Correct workflow to register new geometry as quads
-
I would like to know how to register normal geometry as quads, when i add new geometry to an existing object. When i select only the new lines or faces it always produces a completely new object, messing up my topology.
I think i'm missing something...
-
Can you post an example model - along with a screenshot?
-
The correct geometry has been converted from a wireframe using the "Convert wireframe to quads"-tool and the messed up parts (subdivided tris) with the smoothed edges visible in the selection have been added or edited later.

If you have a mesh with quads similar to Sandbox Tools: two triangles with soft+smooth then use the Sandbox Tools Quads to QFT Quads functions.
QFT quads are similar to Sandbox Tools quads, but it also have Cast Shadow turned off.

Thanks! It's working now. I thought i had tried this before... i don't know. Now everything is ok. Thanks again for the quick response!

Nice result! And a great use of SUbD.

That's some fancy terrain there!

Thanks Rich. The early stages of a new project. Still a long way to go. But it's a totally new experience to do the subd work in SU. Until now i have done these things in max. I really hope that SU can be improved regarding polycount and geometry processing - this could be really ground breaking in combination with subd and an improved poly modeling workflow! (and maybe other non-destructive modeling tools, parametric modeling, etc. ...just dreaming
)
The next application site for SUbD will be the displacement geometry of the wall and some metal sheets on the roof@pbacot yes, much space to fill with vegetation.

I hope you post images of your progress. Very nice to see how people use the tool.
