00:00:01
grant Abbott and today we're looking at
00:00:02
loop tools it's a really handy add-on
00:00:05
that helps you with editing your meshes
00:00:07
and it comes with blender you just go to
00:00:08
edit preferences select add-ons type in
00:00:12
loop and there is loop tools these
00:00:16
add-ons should be saved by default that
00:00:18
you can go down to the bottom here and
00:00:19
save current state in case you've got
00:00:22
autosave and ticked so I can close that
00:00:25
down and now I have the add-on installed
00:00:27
when I go into edit mode now it should
00:00:30
be down the side here under edit now
00:00:32
originally it was under tools but it
00:00:34
seems to be edits now and you can find
00:00:36
the loop tools options just here you can
00:00:38
also right click and it will come up at
00:00:40
the top loop tools so what does it do
00:00:43
first of all I'm going to right click
00:00:44
and subdivide this cube so subdivide and
00:00:48
I'll just turn it up to ten
00:00:50
let's zoom in a bit and deselect all by
00:00:53
double tapping a my screencast keys are
00:00:56
down the bottom left in case you get
00:00:57
stuck I'm going to select the square of
00:01:00
vertices so see two circle select and I
00:01:02
can use my wheel to change the size of
00:01:04
this and I'll just select this sort of
00:01:06
square here
00:01:08
and now if I look at my Luke tools I've
00:01:10
got this option called circle and that
00:01:13
turns it into a circle this is really
00:01:15
handy lots of you will have seen me used
00:01:17
the 2-sphere tool but this does a
00:01:19
slightly better job if I press three now
00:01:22
and circle select and select these faces
00:01:25
I can then inset them I can extrude them
00:01:30
and I can create a nice circular
00:01:32
sticky-outy bits whilst keeping my nice
00:01:35
topology that's my favorite tool
00:01:37
although there's some other great ones
00:01:38
I'm going to delete this cube and start
00:01:41
with a plane this time and go into edit
00:01:44
mode with tab right-click and subdivide
00:01:48
once again giving it ten subdivisions
00:01:51
I'll go into vertex mode with one so you
00:01:53
can see all the vertices this time I'm
00:01:54
going to select this edge along here so
00:01:57
I've alt left clicked to select a line
00:02:00
of vertices and I'm just going to
00:02:01
duplicate them so shift D duplicate and
00:02:04
I've pulled them down here
00:02:05
now if I select this group of vertices
00:02:07
again with alt shift left click so it's
00:02:10
selected that line as well as this one I
00:02:12
can press bridge and that creates a
00:02:15
bridge between the two this is the same
00:02:17
as bridge edge loop but we have an
00:02:19
option for segments which is quite handy
00:02:21
so we can bring up the segments we can
00:02:24
actually twist as well which doesn't
00:02:26
work in this case but I'll quickly show
00:02:27
it with a circle so I'll delete this
00:02:30
shift a circle into edit mode shift D to
00:02:35
duplicate those edges select all and
00:02:37
bridge and we've got this bridge again
00:02:40
it's remembered my settings which is for
00:02:41
segments and this time we can twist and
00:02:44
you can see this vertices is now going
00:02:45
through the next one along and you can
00:02:47
twist it around like this so let's
00:02:49
delete that and back to my plane shift a
00:02:52
mesh plane into edit mode and right
00:02:56
click to subdivide them ten times let's
00:02:59
go to the next one on the list which is
00:03:00
curved so if I select this line here and
00:03:03
I'm going to turn it into a curve I want
00:03:05
this starting point here so I'll grab
00:03:06
that out in the y-axis G then Y and I'll
00:03:10
grab this one G then Y and I want to
00:03:13
curve going between the two now if I
00:03:14
select these two at the moment and press
00:03:16
curve it just creates a straight line
00:03:19
but if I select one of these middle
00:03:21
vertices and press curve you see it
00:03:23
creates this lovely curve you've also
00:03:25
got options for most of these tools that
00:03:27
it has an influence and you can change
00:03:29
the amounts of that it influences
00:03:31
another useful tool is flattened so if I
00:03:34
grab this one by little z-axis this time
00:03:36
and then select this line and press
00:03:39
flatten it brings them all down but it
00:03:41
Everage --es them out so if you have a
00:03:43
look it's got a slight slope up here
00:03:45
because it took into account that 1
00:03:47
vertices was up here so it averages it
00:03:49
out and flattens them out so if I
00:03:52
deselect all and go to select and then
00:03:55
select random and then grab these in the
00:03:58
z-axis and then select everything again
00:04:00
with a and flatten you can see that it's
00:04:03
flattened it out and taken the average
00:04:06
height it does have other options so you
00:04:09
can do it from view or normal but you
00:04:12
can have a play with those now another
00:04:13
interesting option is the G stretch if I
00:04:16
go to grease pencil now and use the
00:04:19
annotate so hold it down and get
00:04:21
annotate and let's draw a line like this
00:04:24
now back to my selection tool here and
00:04:27
select this edge once again this time
00:04:31
I'm going to press the G stretch it
00:04:33
stretches it across to my grease pencil
00:04:35
line so on to the next one this time I'm
00:04:39
going to delete this and erase my line
00:04:41
by going to the grease pencil annotate
00:04:44
eraser
00:04:46
and rubbing it out back to the selection
00:04:48
and let's add in a circle into edit mode
00:04:53
let's duplicate that move it up here and
00:04:56
rotate it slightly duplicate that move
00:05:00
it up here rotate it slightly and I'll
00:05:03
scale it down this time
00:05:05
duplicate that rotate it slightly this
00:05:08
will make sense eventually select all
00:05:10
and press loft and you can see it's
00:05:13
created mesh between my objects you can
00:05:17
do this with lines as well it's still
00:05:19
got twist turned on so I'll turn that
00:05:20
back down to zero and you'll see it has
00:05:22
the straight lines you can even loop it
00:05:25
so it goes back to the beginning but
00:05:27
obviously there's not much of a loop
00:05:29
here so it's quite a clever tool and
00:05:31
this used to be an old style of modeling
00:05:32
if I start with a line this time I'll
00:05:36
grab this plane delete these two
00:05:39
vertices and subdivide these two you can
00:05:44
see you can create complex shapes by
00:05:48
duplicating this line and I'll grab a
00:05:50
few of these move them around slightly
00:05:53
to edit my shape select all and press
00:05:56
loft and you can see I've got a quite
00:05:59
complex shape there and I start adding a
00:06:01
subdivision surface modifier and you can
00:06:04
see if I shade smooth you can create
00:06:07
quite complex shapes fairly quickly and
00:06:09
easily using the loft so I'll remove
00:06:12
that subdivision surface modifier now
00:06:14
relax is an interesting one and I'm not
00:06:15
quite sure what it's doing a lot of the
00:06:17
time but if I press relax now it just
00:06:20
creates quite a mess but if I select a
00:06:23
line and try and relax it you can see it
00:06:26
sort of averages out and evens it out
00:06:28
trying to smooth it which is a bit like
00:06:31
smooth vertex but it looks like it's
00:06:33
trying to maintain the position if I go
00:06:36
to vertex smooth vertices you can see
00:06:39
that sort of moves position whereas
00:06:41
relaxed tries to I think average them
00:06:43
out and smooth them out without moving
00:06:46
them around so if I press relax again it
00:06:49
doesn't move positions very much
00:06:51
hopefully that makes sense it's not
00:06:53
something I found much of a useful yet
00:06:55
the last one is space so I'm going to
00:06:58
move this
00:06:59
over to the other one and this one over
00:07:01
to this one and you'll get the idea of
00:07:03
what I'm doing in a second so if I
00:07:06
select this line now and press space it
00:07:09
averages out the distance between them
00:07:12
which can be very useful so here's
00:07:14
before and here's after and remember
00:07:18
you've got your influence here as well
00:07:21
so that's all the Luke tools a very
00:07:24
handy add-on which is well worth turning
00:07:26
on within blender remember you find it
00:07:27
under the Edit menu you must be in edit
00:07:29
mode and you can right click and go to
00:07:31
loop tools up here as well so thanks for
00:07:34
watching and I hope this helps
