These tutorials introduce new users to the process of subdivision surfaces. They show how to model a simple bowl, vase and mug shape. It also begins to show how to use the polygon modeling tools to control the subdivision modeling process.
BASIC
Model a bowl shape Go to tutorial
This tutorial is for people new to Design 3D and 3D in general, who want to get a glimpse into what the subdivision surface technology is. It walks through some basic polygon modeling operations in order to set up a polygon mesh that can be subdivided.
Model a vase shape Go to tutorial
This modeling tutorial for beginners further demonstrates how to use polygon modeling to generate a subdivision surface object resembling a vase type object. It helps to give a sense for how Design 3D approaches the manipulation of polygons, in addition to showing how active grids help to control the modeling process.
MORE ADVANCED
Model a mug shape Go to tutorial
This is the 3rd in a series of polygon modeling tutorials for beginners who want to better understand what subdivision surfaces is and how to manipulate polygons in Design 3D 8.0.
