Hello, I plan to share my work right here…Get pleasure from!
Stylized Character made with SketchUp Professional 2021 Solely
…
Made with SketchUp Professional 2021 and SketchUp Extensions solely (No exterior software program used). The primary picture is rendered in Vray for SketchUp 2021, and the remainder of the photographs are from SketchUp scenes which are customized styled.
I exploit many SketchUp Extensions, however here’s a record of a few them:
I normally use Zbrush to create one of these work however determined to problem myself and solely use SketchUp. Due to thomthom and his extensions one of these natural & quad modeling is feasible in SketchUp.
Let me give some primary key factors on the best way to obtain one of these modeling in SketchUp…
First, every part begins with a easy Dice. Then with the extension ‘SubD by thomthom’ I add extra subdivisions, and the ensuing mesh will nonetheless be made out of quads.
Then flip off SubD so as to add extra element to the dice after which activate SubD to see the consequence.
Including loops with the assistance of ‘Quad Face Instruments by thomthom’ may also help to form the item. Or use ‘Vertex Instruments 2 by thomthom’ to extrude & transfer chosen vertices and apply some Field modeling ideas.
Each time I verify with ‘Stable Inspector by thomthom’ to ensure there aren’t any undesirable edges or faces that can make SubD not work as supposed.
Not every part must be one single mesh… For instance, the character’s face is a separate group entity, the nostril is in its personal group, the eyes are separate as properly, and so forth.
When you have Zbrush then it has a device the place you may mix separate meshes into one and nonetheless protect the quad mesh…However, I didn’t try this with this mannequin.
Additionally, you probably have Artisan by thoughts.sight.studio it’s a good suggestion to Explode the best definition SubD object and un-soften the sides to sculpt it with Artisan. After that, the mesh will now not be Quads, however with thomthom Quad Face Software extension there’s a device to make them quads once more. Typically attempting to make them quads once more doesn’t work however you may isolate the issue space and quad that half alone.
Hope you want my work!

Modeled with SketchUp Professional 2022 and rendered in V-Ray 5 for SketchUp.
For Publish-production, I used Adobe Photoshop.
This SketchUp scene began with me solely desirous to mannequin some Pancakes, however after that, I stored modeling extra & extra stuff till I ended up with what you see under.
I’m working towards modeling with Quad Faces and I’m an enormous fan of Thomthoms extensions for that.
For creating the desk fabric I used ClothWorks by Anton Synytsia.
The surface mountains have been sculpted with Artisan by thoughts.sight.studios. And the bushes have been scattered utilizing Skatter by Lindalë.
One other SketchUp Extension I discovered actually helpful was Eneroth Element Replacer. It is because after I first began modeling I solely create the essential form for the item, and later I exchange them with increased element mannequin utilizing this device. This protects me plenty of time by not having to reposition the brand new objects manually.
Lastly, an extension that I develop myself named Again-Face Painter was helpful when making use of supplies to the back-faces with out me having to place digicam inside objects or going to the entity data panels.
I used many extra extensions, however the ones I listed above are the primary ones.

Under are a number of the objects with a wireframe SketchUp fashion to get a greater sense of the typology achieved with SubD when subdividing the mesh.
I developed a SketchUp Extension to assist me create the SketchUp wireframe fashion and it’s referred to as CompoScene, however you may create it manually with the Fashion settings if you need.
As a closing be aware, I wish to specific that I don’t suppose modeling with Quads is healthier than N-gons or vise-versa. I really like that SketchUp makes modeling really easy that you simply don’t have to fret about topology, however I additionally like that I can do natural modeling with out having to go to Blender or different 3d software program.
Thanks for watching!

My creature received better of three for the Curious Creature competitors and was exhibited on this yr’s SketchUp 3D Basecamp 2022.
View in AR on the 3D Warehouse Web site
The Crocodile & Canine was modeled in SketchUp and due to SketchUp Extensions like SubD I used to be capable of work with quad faces. This allowed me to create natural shapes whereas making use of the strategy of Field Modeling.

This stylized 3d scene was made in SketchUp Professional 2022 and rendered with Vray 5 for SketchUp. The human character was first modeled in SketchUp after which exported to Zbrush for some extra modeling and retopology. Then it was re-imported again to SketchUp with an extension named Transmutr.
The Canine and the Fowl have been solely modeled in SketchUp with the assistance of the next SketchUp extensions QuadFace Instruments, Vertex Instruments 2, SubD, and many others.
Then as a result of the go away and the bushes, shrubs, and grass have been flat geometry I developed a SketchUp extension named ‘Again-Face Painter’ for making use of the entrance face materials to the again face.
Hope you prefer it!
Oh! If the character appears just like the SketchUp developer Thomthom @tt_su this was intentional since he creates wonderful extensions.
