The abstract art exhibition.

(Combined with serious modeling tool knowledge injections)

---

:) ....maybe abstract but 3D Printable! ;)

---

Careful!
Extrude don't make suddivisable objects in some cases!

Use Bridge between 2 faces! (Bridge on the Left, Extrude on the Right)

---

So the trick is to split the 2 faces before! ;) (like for a Bridge)

---

---

Select a Face Select All Psplit
Select each face
Extrude
Subdivide

---

---

If a shell had no problem you can make multiple Subdivisions for refine the volume!

---

For "crease" a face with the classic "Polygonal" method...



else playing with the Sscale...

---

Pilou,
are you splitting the faces manual ?

Oh no! You have the magic function Ssplit with selection of one(s) face(s) (your image above)

Of course make a shortcut for a speedy race ;)
mine are P = SsPlit, E = Extrude, K = Subdivide, S = Sscale , B = Bridge
With only that you can make miracles! :) (I can't memorize more! :)

Here only 2 faces in the same time!



Like here all faces are splitted in the same time!
But you must select one face first then all the rest with for example the rectangle selection!



By hands will be a nightmare : drawings lines, Triming, etc...

or only one edge for "SPlit" all the volume!
Here split edge one by one (very cool to make a right Click for recall the function after a new edge selection! ;)

Hi Pilou,
having selected 2 faces on a cube and then running the sSplit command I get this.




Sorted have download the sSplit script from Max's website and replaced the one in my command folder and now working fine.
Thanks
Barry

Always amazed as little forms can do in no time! :)

---

Add a dummy SPlit at the lateral sides to make extrusions (the fork tines).
Make extrusions on perimeters! So kill inbetwenner faces !
Separate/Join when a subdivision is made!
Close a hole with successive snaped extrusions!
(here one by one because intervals are not the same! So no possibility to use array! )



You will have a solid at the end!



Of course not yet so fluid than Rhino 7 but funny! :)

---

Extrude by Dir then
Orient / Line-Line / Stretch / Copy can be cool + Plane sides
can be cool for increase the volume on no regular perimeter!

---

Infinite possibilities of Bridge function! :)

---

If any questions about this funny method of subdivision inside Nurbs don't hesitate!
Thx Max Smirnov for these magic tools!

Advantage is the very few tools to learn/use! :)

- Extrude face(s) (not on the extremities)
- Scale with Points enabled
- Split on a single Edge or a face(s)... don't need to recall it, just Right Click
- Bridge only between 2 faces : careful of overlapings
( useful for replace the Extrude at the "extremities" : just Copy / Move the face then Bridge )

Show Points from the beginning, and never accept the SubDive before the final result wanted... :)

Here just a tranparent Texture of the Engine Render...

Many thanks Pilou for your fantastic inspirations....great work !!!
But would you like to post some kind of "how to basic tutorial - as a step by step cook-book" for all the un-initiated noobs ?
That would realy by a mind-opener ??? Big thanks + good luck to you
Best wishes

In fact that is very simple! :)

The volume must be without internal faces!!!

This follow is the general case who always works! The Bridge function between 2 separated faces!

In this specific case the Extrude will also works because faces are not on the "extremities"
and not touch between them !
Box on the left don't work because Top/ Bottom face are too complex for the Plugin!
You must split it first! With any method but without internal faces! Here there is a new building :)
Use of the SsPlit function is of course used!





Here following Subdivision after Extrude will not work!
Because there are no more "triming faces"!
