We’ll do three exercises. First up is the famous “Cylinder And Plane Exercise” given to Andrew’s students as a way of learning the C3dC hotkeys. You’ll see how easy it is to join a cylinder and plane in SubDs. Hotkeys for speed, learn like a pro and we’ll talk about when it’s ok to use non quads too.
Next it’s onto the quad draw, a tool that deserves it’s own page but we’ll get started by connecting a sphere and cube in subDs, see the magic that is the quad draw relax.
Then it’s onto organic modelling and we’ll quad draw a mouth and eyes onto an egg shaped head. This foundational exercise is for quickly building faces. And last we’ll go through smoothing tips for keeping meshes clean even when there’s nothing to snap to.
