the image above shows the 4 phases that the cube gets subdivided with this algorithm

the reason why cubes is the best standard primitive when modeling a base mesh is that it gives you more flexibility to either subdivide it or retain it's sharp corners

hard surface modeling mistakes

Skinning (rigging)

avoid u shapes (no curving in shapes) control the silhouette of mass from rigged 3d model have edge loops perpendicular to joints "Smooth to subtract influence" There is a bend here where polys are colliding/intersecting that should be avoided Goals learn from autoriggers
