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

Excelent trick - merci

For kill the internal best is redraw a polygonal volume inside and make a boolean diff!

Dedicated thread for Max's SubD Scripts?

With Max working on new scripts and folks experimenting and sharing results, maybe all posts related to his SubD work should go into a new thread.

>> what is the difference with View Points and use the Edit Frame ?
No differences in the v0.5. Check the new one.
My script determines center by averaging a source points. Edit frame uses boundary box center.


>> Does it possible to have Ngons like this ?
It's possible, but not now. My subd script doesn't support ngons.

Thank you. I'll think about it :)

Cool last one!

Great work Max, thanks for sharing all of these new tools!

Amazing. This makes a great bit of software even better. I cannot believe that this has become a toolset available in MoiV3. I was secretly hoping we might have it in V4.

It opens some exciting opportunities for the students I teach.
