Piles - use of Bridge for close volumes!

Beautiful! (and the tuts are awesome too)

Thx...try it!

it's a true pleasure to make a speedy form then render it! (mine is the free Simlab Composer Lite ;) Max 1920*1080

And a cool change mind in these darkness confined times!

And you will see that Subdivision modeling is different than pure Nurbs because you don't know exactly what will be the result!

It's always a surprise when you press the Subdivision's button who transform boxes in voluptuous surfaces! :)

Maybe more artistic filling against mechanical one! ;)

This is an interesting discussion and I want share my experience in this field, I made a few experiment and I understood how modelling suddiv for nurbs conversion with moi3d.

A new process in the SudDive Tool Box ;)

Project a curve to a complex volume (yet well working for subdive)
Trim
Kill Curve(s)
Join
that all! :)
PS Extrude can't work because face(s) are not in middle of surfaces!
So Copy Move one face(s) then "Bridge" one to one ! Copy / Move Faces can be Multiple!

Always funny easy thing for make improbable objects! :)

About SUbDivision in Moi ! We can project an object subdivided (finalized or not) on another for deform it! (here on a Sphere )

Flow function can be practical for SUbDIve!
Here a cube was projected on a Sphere...of course as always imagination must be large for predict the result!

The cutting line method shown above is significantly slower than cutting from a segment!

But indispensable if you want an oblique cut!

Some minutes of the days :)

Precision! :)

You need Max's plugins for this to work correct?

Yes of course: in this precise case _sBridge by Max Smirnov

who can be also used of course for other thing than Subdivision!

Seems last version of Rhino 7 uses intensively the SUbD Method! :)

Moi SUbdivided object + texture of the fabulous free Vervette SandBox online

Searching something for all kill the internal volume (faces, edges) for make some cool subdivided object...

it appears that is very difficult directly in Moi ! (for the moment (?) )...
Boolean union will remove the internal faces but also merge together some of the outer ones.
Edit Join don't remove internal faces!
So no success!

5 boxes for test your scripts or other tricks! https://moiscript.weebly.com/uploads/3/9/3/8/3938813/5boxes.3dm
the 3 little boxes have no internal faces because built with Max sSplit :)
the 2 other have mutual faces!


But i have found some little tricks! :)
- Export as OBJ / Ngon Without Without Weld vertices along Edges!
- Import OBJ from SUbDiv/ Create /From File
- Boolean Union
- Max Subdiv

That works fine...except for this case!
don't works when "cubes" are tangent by a commune vertical edges!
Works in other compact or alone positions!
the bad case (works in other cases! )

so no total success again!...

but i have found another trick for this particular case! :)

Up or down the top face of one of these 2 boxes by a very, very tiny distance!
et voilà! :)
Have fun subD modeling before a script or command OR NODES who kill all internal volume! :)

Relaxing in 10 seconds :)





Bonus :)
