Yes, from some angles you can see the stretching in renders. I would use 2 more loops.

Does any advantage to subdivise "Flat surfaces" ?
for example here all the bottom part

Yes, it gives a nicer (more regular) mesh:

I've ordered the vase example as a 3D print out of ceramics. There it is!...

Looks like a bezier surface sneak preview?

[Rich O Brien]

nope, a straight up point to point modeling exercise. All that was used was Vertex Tools for the extrusions and scaling.

[olishea]

awesome work rich

[pilou]

Have you made an "half dog" then Mirroring or similar ?

[Rich O Brien]

Yes, it's only half modelled based off a cartoon image on 123rf.com.

spotted a video online a few weeks back that showed someone modeling this at high speed and thought I'd give it a go with Vertex Tools. Did a blender version too in a lot faster time.

[boofredlay]

Very cool.

[jchau2007]

Rich,
How do you turn the triangular faces to quad faces? What plug in did you used?

thanks,
James

A different way to make a cup in SU with Artisan, coming from this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=335&t=51454

[panixia]

ehm.. a few months ago, i showed exactly this here:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=46136&start=30#p421134

and also here with some variations and rendered version (into this very same thread):
viewtopic.php?f=335&t=42938&start=90#p421671

[olishea]

sorry, cotty asked me to place the model here as it's Artisan related.

I'm not trying to wee on your bonfire by any means!

[panixia]

i have no idea of what "wee on your bonfire" means (i'm not so good at english and this appear to be "slang") anyway it doesn't matter.. no problem at all..

[olishea]

I said 'wee' to refrain from using an expletive....but here you go, definition from urban dictionary!

"piss on your bonfire"

British slang.

The art of putting a dampener on someone's moment of glory/celebration.

sorry, cotty asked me to place the model here as it's Artisan related.

Yes, my fault. Sorry for that. I should have remebered that post because I answered there too

@Marcello: You can edit your post and add an image, so we have the important information here to find it faster next time

I always get stuck modeling tufted furniture. Here is one example of the workflow with artisan

Vase no. 3...

[leminilab]

Always a pleasure to see you have fun with this!
Now you may want to explain how you (beautifully) textured this!
Is it a spherical mapping with SketchUV?

[Hieru]

Very nice Rich What's the workflow...does it rely a lot on vertex tools?

[leminilab]

Very nice indeed! Very elegant and masterfully modelled. Do you plan on redering this? It's a ceiling light?

[cotty]

Is it a spherical mapping with SketchUV?

Yes, you are totally right and I used an Indigo standard material....

[leminilab]

Yes, you are totally right and I used an Indigo standard material....

Very nice as usual!
