Thanks for the detailed tutorial Mauro.

I think the result is very good.

Can you think of any scripts that would help make it faster or easier? For example, rather than save as OBJ and re-import to apply subD, could this conversion take place without the export/import steps?

I also know in 2019 Michael wrote: "... In the future I would like to have it so importing an obj file would result in creating a special sub-d type object in MoI where you could turn on control cage points and move them around, adjust edge weights, etc..."

That would be a great addition to MoI.

Brian:
that map should work in all render engines
here more examples about artifacts in subd



Ed:
You were the first to do a car using Max subd ;)
Max script convert directly inside Moi
Moi subd need to export and re-import...it's up to Michael :)

Pilou:

You win the car ! but i'm curious:how you guess...maybe with the help of a vintage cars amateur ?..or you are one of them?



i think to finish in January,then i'll send you but it will be an heavy file
This is an Alfa and finish results will go on my old thread:The Alfaholics

Merry Xmas !

No I am not but... :) I have thought first to a Thunderbird but as you are Italian...

That was easy to put voiture coupée italienne in the google reseach engine by image!

As i have remarked the middle sharp bonnet ...it was a game's boy to find by a little scrolling! :)
PS
I's a pity that i don't remember your thread about Alpha because she was inside! :)

Exploring of SubD importer goes on :)

After mirroring half surface i make new "polys" on the central part of the hood
Transition on the intake area inspire me to make a "triangle poly" like in picture below



Moi SubD Importert will convert also 3 side "polys" (Max SubD converter not allow this) check pictures at the end

Now let's do an experiment:create the wheel slot generating a "N side" surface
extrude edges



trim the extrusion with a straight line,select all edges and do a planar surface



Moi importer can convert this type of "N sided" surface (Max SubD converter not allow this)



I didn't follow this in my final car,It's just to show what the converter can do

I discovered an option that allow to choose:less patches-more patches



Sadly i discovered it too late when i finished the car.You can have less seams with a more uniform distribution on the surface
That's crucial when you'll do booleans and fillets to get doors,windows,door handle slots etc.





Here red arrows show slightly different seam construction between left-right sides,but it's a mirrored surface



...pushing more: let's see if it's possible to get a thickened surface

Surface



thickener in action



thickened surface= SOLID !...not bad in this difficult situation :)



Here inside the fender



...pushing some more:try a fillet on a complex edge loop door window



let me say: our f----d filleter works ! :)



Very promising :)
