Subd tools for edge flow retopology

Rhino SubD
, ,
1

Can you recommend some guides/tools/workflows for subdivision modeling edge flow tools?

Process right now is:

  1. Points On, Draw Guidelines, Move Control Polygon Points.
  2. Other technique is 0-Scaling based on gumbal,
  3. SetPt.

Flow to a curve is horrible with sub-d control points… Maybe I’m not using it right…

I think if Rhino can bring the nurbs-level precision to subd, we will have a big jump in awesomeness… anyone else think so too??

Plz…Any help, recommendations and post links to this would be very helpful/useful.

Thx

Hi @lagouros ,

Try the Align command with SubD sub-objects selected or use the command EditPointOn and use Align with the edit points of the SubD instead. Align has a number of tools in it but two that I use often are ToFitPlane and ToCurve.

I’m not sure I understand exactly what you mean by edge flow in the context of retopology but you may want to use guide curves within the QuadRemesh command.

Please post any specific questions with example files for more help.

Yes, and the request is filed https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-67818 . I’ll try and bump it again.
