Thanks to Kyle @theoutside and Brian @BrianJ for all of the inspiration and great advice.

This is a new format and editing style I am trying out in preparation for new courses. Let me know if you like the structure, flow, and if my fat head is distracting. :slight_smile:

A quad only topology would be better for subdivision and detailing…

I learned Rhino from your video series. Thank you so much sir.

Hey @martinsiegrist

That is an excellent suggestion. I knew that it was best practice to use quads for Sub-D, but missed that in my efforts to keep it short and sweet.

I will revisit this soon and see if there is a way I can build an arm to get the results you have illustrated.

Thank you! I appreciate this.

Thanks for your reply. I see two efficient ways to create a 5-star.

  1. create a mesh triangle inside a pentagon. Subdivide the mesh triangle once. Convert it into a SubD and use the radiate command.

  1. Start with a SubD quad face and radiate it 5 times. Subdivide once and stitch the star points. Find the radiate pattern again and drag the star point outwards
