Subdivision Surfaces: Artifacts

just awesome

Incredible video that gives quite a bit of solution for those issues that seem to never be talked about. Experts tend to keep these simple things to themselves to keep an edge. Well done !

this video deserves more views

Very well done animation about a very fuzzy topic, it explained a lot of stuff really well. I especially love the hand example near the end with the edges looping back in the direction they came from, brilliant!

Just one note: subdivision is now popularly quad based, but there are subdivision schemes that works with triangles best or even have a hybrid approach using both. I'm not sure whether there's a scheme that just doesn't care.

Finally, someone who explains it well...very well. I soooo appreciate it. There are several articles out there, that just don't explain Non-quad issues and non-quad resolution well. From now on, GorillaCG is my 1st stop!

Thanks :)

wow that was good!

Thank you so much!

Nice , really nice , thank you.

Peace :-).

This explains very clearly why non-quads and poles with more than 4 sides are not prefered~
Nice explainations!
Good Job!
