I’ve been using the SubD tools more and more and really have enjoyed the freedom they provide in Rhino. I still use Fusion to get the simplest poly surface I can when converting to Nurbs from Modo. The times I don’t need that simplicity then Rhino’s are fine…though pretty busy. The business was a fe…

Fusion is a very nice modeling tool. One place where Rhino out-shines is when dealing with a subD which ‘self-intersects’ in box mode. Fusion just errors out and won’t convert. Rhino succeeds.

you are correct in your statement, however, ideally you should fix any box mode self intersections… It’ll “work” but isn’t “correct” and as good modeling practice should be avoided. clean box mode= clean smooth mode. but… winning ugly is still winning, so…you do you, don’t let me and my blathering…

Yes, nothing like perfection but it can get in the way of expression, at times. One of the reasons I started using Rhino a number of years ago was because it’s tolerances were loose enough I could model ‘sloppily’ and get away with it. I had used an ACIS Modeler up until then and it drove one to ins…

Thanks for posting this Gustavo. I had seen the Fusion promotion offer and was sitting on the fence as to whether it is worth having. I posted a question on here a couple of days ago to that effect but it got limited response I’ll make the purchase.

don’t expect a holiday card from us this year Gusto… :crazy_face:

[image] theoutside: but… winning ugly is still winning, so…you do you, don’t let me and my blathering on stop you from crossing the finish line any way you see fit. I agree with this statement. I always value Rhino’s approach of ‘we will give you something you can work with’, even if it means…

yeah, we are kinda like this guy… [Monty python holy grail message for you sir]
