What is the purpose of having Subd meshes inside NURBS world? I`m missing something obvious there.

Is there something more to mix those both worlds? I know about importing ready subd models to prepare them for production. Please tell me: How seamless is work with subd-nurbs in Rhino 7? You`ve already answered to my similar question on other thread. Hopefully we see a ton more focus added to SubD tools, otherwise they’ll end up as neglected as SolidTools, UTD, and other potentially useful things that never got full development and design attention. Especially when we we mention how other tools work we get answers like: ‘we don’t want to copy tool X’, ‘we don’t know how other tools work’, etc. I’m just not sure how much resources, time, focus and know-how they have to fix it. I think people at McNeel already know their tools are very limited. Many of the examples you showed on your gif files have already been shared. Even for our less verse modelers in SubD, working it Rhino is just too slow, too limiting, too frustrating. We also use Modo for most of our SubD modeling, a couple(?) of weeks ago I asked some folks in my team, the ones with least experience in Modo, to try to design/model directly in Rhino SubD, to see if we can make it work, and provide feedback in the areas we can’t… they didn’t last for more that a couple of hours. If fact your questions and examples are extremely useful and constructive.


Hi Marcin, I don’t think you are offending anyone. I know that Modo and Alias/Rhino can`t be compared. Those tools I use everyday during SubD modeling works in Modo. Relaxing distribution of edges with maintaining existing shape (Edge flow Modo plugin):įalloff Tool which works with any other tool (with push tool in that case - there are present 4 easing modes - linear, easing-in, easing-out, smoothing): Straighten edge selection (linear align): Select between (edges/polygons/vertices): Push polygons/vertices/edges with normal directions: Move vertex with the direction of surrounding edges:

Sorry if some of them are already present in Rhino 7 but I don`t have one I think that those tools are needed to provide high-quality SubD modeling. Those tools are not from Alias that`s why I’ve posted it in another post here. I would be grateful if someone also would tell me if something like this will be implemented into Rhino 7: I would like to post here also a few tools from Modo (very good polygonal modeling software).
