SubD Objects
I'm adding a new primitive, the SubD object. You can draw a low poly mesh (or retopo a hires sculpt) and then see the results on the subdivided model as you edit.
Here is an example:

Re: SubD Objects
The low poly mesh only has 340 verts so it is easy to edit into new shapes while keeping the surface smooth and well formed - it's a different feel compared to using sculpting brushes on a hi-poly mesh.

Re: SubD Objects
Another practice head using SubDs. This one has a high contrast lightmap to reveal the shape of the surface more clearly.

Re: SubD Objects
There is a rough video of hires sculpting and SuB modelling in the Curvy 5 Beta here :

Re: SubD Objects
Thats really interesting Simon. I could use that.

Re: SubD Objects
Here is a very quick hand model made from a thin SubD shape with added thickness. Avoids needing to do tricky joins on each finger and gives a smooth well formed result ready for further SubD work, or hires sculpting.

Re: SubD Objects
Added a new wireframe mode that shows how the surface is subdivided. Makes it easier to understand the mesh topology.

Nice feature Simon. There is new icon for this feature ?

Re: SubD Objects
There is a new panel of tools for SubD modelling in Curvy 3D 5.0.09. To get started you should create a Sphere and scale the resolution down to 48 tris.
Then use the Mesh Grab tool to move a point on the sphere - this turns the object into a SubD object. You also need to turn on Subdivision in the Obj Props panel.
Coming next in Curvy 3D 5.0.10 there are a couple of new primitives for Plane and SubD Cube that offer good starting points for making SubD models. Also the new curved wireframe mode will have a button in the toolbar.

Re: SubD Objects
Same topology, this time with an anime style head. SubDs for the hair shapes too.

Re: SubD Objects
Another head with the same topology as before, it is very quick to reproportion a SubD mesh to fit a new design.

Re: SubD Objects
More heads from the same topology:
If you have the latest Beta 5 you can download these objects and perhaps try making your own heads from this base.
