Very sweet tools Max!

Michael T.

Thanks everyone for positive comments :)

I rewrote the Bridge script. No new functions at the moment, but internal logic has been changed. This is a first step to bended bridges.
Also I wrote a script for polygon splitting. As Bridge it's very simple right now.
I decided to write all subdTools scripts with basic functionality, and only after that I'll start to improve them.

>>Can we dream of something like Bridge 2 Faces of a same volume ?
Yes. I have plans to make something like this.

Totally awesome. I'm well covered with SubD tools, but being able to do this in MoI and with NURBS is awesome!

Thank you so much!

Tom

Excellent!
Split = the classical Inset function!

Just a wish...
Is it possible Subdivision command was not destructive ???
I would like to keep my original "polygon" model, just have a "visualization" of the subdivided object and can modified the surface like in a traditional 3D polygonal modeler.
Thanks for your very good job !
Thanks a lot Max !!

I was having fun with Max's newest subD tools. While experimenting with shapes I thought, "Hey - that looks like a Boom Box" So why not just finish it off :)

Love it Ed! very cool.

Very cool!

@Max
Does it possible after a _sSplit to have the "flat inset rectangles" selected ?
here the 4 yellow ones on the bridge!

Max.

Brilliant work like this shouldn't go unrewarded.
Can I suggest you get a Bitcoin wallet and start accepting donations through it?

Hey Max,

"""""""""I decided to write all subdTools scripts with basic functionality, and only after that I'll start to improve them."""""""""""

As someone who would love for you to start pumping out tools, I wanted to ask about the initial subD Command you've written.

Is there any more that can be done with this? Mostly regarding the lack of tangency and curvature between patches...... (It's kindof a killer for me personally)

Going along with your quote above, maybe you could do "all that you can" with this as the "main tool of the bag", before all the "timesaver" trick scripts.....

Thanks again :)

sBridge - small bugfix
sSplit - n-gons support
sScale - new script

Hi BurrMan

I have some difficulties with subd script. Unfortunatelly Moi javascript tools has very limited nurbs functionality. I can build curves of degree 2 or 3 only. I can't ajust control points weights. I can't build curves with double knots. etc..
So I need to find the way how to improve my script in this situation. But right now I'm tired of it. I need to switch to something else. So I decided to take a rest and write several simple scripts. After few weeks I'll continue my experiments with the main script.

Understood.. Thanks again... :)

Excellent! What a productivity! Bravo!

PS sScale : what is the difference with View Points and use the Edit Frame ?

A trick for the sSplit : don't select the volume only, but select the volume then use the Browser for select faces! ;)

@Max
sSPlit
Does it possible to have Ngons like this ?
And selected just after the sSplit ? :)

Hi Pilou
How did you make the pentagon, and put the split inside?
I an trying to make a cup

I figured i out :-)
first a pentagon


Then sSplit on both side, extrude the inner part to perform the bottom



sSplit on the side for the handle and copy the faces to direct the handle





sBridge it



And Subdiv

Function Draw Curve Polygon
Extrude
Kill first polygon curve generator if not need
The trick : Select volume so a solid but sSplit need only faces!
So after select volumum (solid) use the Browser button for choise Faces ;)
Then use sSplit !
Et voilà
