Subdivide & Catmull Clark ...side by side - Arg Arg - 07-30-2014
while modelling hard-surface objects in wings,
i often come across to a point where i need a local or global subdivision
without any smoothing.
in wings you are able to set the edges to "hard" and do a
catmull-clark "smooth".
after this operation you have to set the edges back to "soft".
...also you are able to use a combination of "cut" and "connect"
to create subdivisions.
blender contains a subdivision command side by side with the
catmull-clark smoothing.
in my opinion a subdivision-command in wings is more usefull
than in blender, because of other commands wich wings is offering to
make use of the created subdivisions.
wings is excellent to achive quality-topology, but iam really missing
the subdivision-command.
has anyone a special workflow for me in wings?
don´t you ever need it?
do you also use work-arounds?
i can not understand it at the moment from a active-artist-view,
that it is not implemented in wings, coz it´s one of the basics in
modelling (like "ABC" without "B")
TO PREVENT any answers that points me to manifold-lab:
iam NOT talking about manifold-lab ...iam talking about WINGS-3D
it would be very nice to have a implementation in FACE and OBJECT mode
that is called:
SUBDIVIDE [LMB] Catmull-Clark Smooth
SUBDIVIDE [RMB] Subidvision
if i can see a light at the end of the wings-coding-tunnel,
than i think it is called: "Micheus"

I use the Connect too sometimes (From Tools>Connect). The good thing about that tool is that it doesn't mess with UVs. But yes, I do agree it would be nice to do subdivisions without smoothing, and without having to use the hard edge workaround.

Is it something like this you were talking about?
