Rhino 7 - speed sculpting with SubD

A rapid fire demo on how to think about and layout several different types of model in Rhino 7 SubD. We'll talk about how to move fast in SubD and how to establish the foundation of a more detailed model.

[@mejwol8049]

Great tutorial again. So much detail in such a small amount of time is fantastic. A pleasure to watch.

[@Rhinoceros3d]

Thanks, so glad it’s useful! Happy modeling!

[@berrakaya988]

you are awsome! i was dealing with a university project for days, i watched so many videos but this video solved all of my problems and your sense of humor really made me smile! you are so fun and wise. thank you man just thank you..

[@parkflyerindonesia]

Great stuff, Kyle 😎👍

[@randomtux1234]

when i was first introduced to Tsplines for Rhino (SubD in todays parlance) it was like having discovered electricity. Its the only way to model complex organic surfaces, then convert them into solids to do booleans etc.

[@Rhinoceros3d]

We hope you like SubD in Rhino. They will continue to grow and evolve as a permanent part of rhino's toolset.

[@MarcsYoutube]

Great job! I was wondering what sub-friendly curves were all about. Now I know. :)

Glad I could help!

Hi, and thanks for the tutorial, useful and professional as always. May I ask you what is the new icon/command in the SubD series of commands? I mean the one that looks like 2 "L" letters overlapping each others and colored in green, yellow and red. Thanks in advance for your attention, and have a good day.

[@Rhinoceros3d]

that icon is for "pack faces" docs here: docs.mcneel.com/rhino/7/help/en-us/index.htm#commands/packsubdfaces.htm#(null)

really helpful tutorial, thanks a lot, can i ask how did you project curve on object with surface as result?

[@Rhinoceros3d]

do you have a timestamp of where you are seeing this?

[@zt1463]

Thank you for the tutorial. Any upcoming ones on footwear?

[@Rhinoceros3d]

I don’t have a ton of footwear experience, Brian James may be a better source for info there.

Hello! I'm sure there's a simple solution to this- for some reason, when I try to scale and extrude the first curve I drew for for the left lens it won't extrude a surface at all, it just scales bigger. I made sure to select Sub-D friendly, and I'm holding shift and CTRL. It does work if I draw a SubD surface and extrude the edge though. (I am working on a PC, is this maybe the problem?)

[@Rhinoceros3d]

Drag scale handle 1st, then hold ctrl (or command for mac) to extrude.

[@hannahversfeld6847]

@@Rhinoceros3d Yup, that's exactly what I'm doing. I make a SubD-friendly control-point curve, hold shift and start scaling with a gumball handle, then I hold ctrl. It just scaled the curve uniformly bigger. It does work if I draw a SubD surface and repeat the process with the outer edge loop, then it creates new geometry.

Great tutorial! i'm new in Rhino, your Rhino interface look so much nead and organize, do you have tutorial how to set up it

[@Rhinoceros3d]

Defaults baby. Simple defaults. I’m a simple man.

[@mehmet_dal]

Your Rhino desktop Appearance looks very good.. I tried it but I could not make it similar.. How did you this.. Could you make a video for this..

[@Rhinoceros3d]

what part of the appearance are you commenting on? I use mostly defaults, except for the white background and slightly lighter grid. This is controlled in tools>options>appearance> colors

[@asher.freeman]

Hey Mate - I have lots of issues booleaning meshes that I have imported into rhino. sometimes it works, sometime it doesnt. any advice? :)

[@Rhinoceros3d]

It depends a ton on the mesh quality. Quadremesh can help with a less than great mesh. Tbh- rhinos mesh tools are not amazing. I’d look at zbrush or 3D coat for heavy mesh work.

[@freemanjewelryworkshop]

@@Rhinoceros3d Thanks mate, that is super helpful!
