A Loop Cut is defined as splitting a loop of adjacent faces down the middle. And if that doesn’t make sense, let me demonstrate with our trusty cube. I have selected a closed-loop of faces – the left, top, right and bottom faces. The face at the back and the one nearest us are not selected. The other four that are selected are adjacent (share an edge) to one another and form a loop.
The Extrude tool in Blender is a simple, often-used tool that extends the geometry length by adding extra geometry instead of changing the size. Extrude works in Edit mode with Faces, Edges and Vertices, but it works slightly differently for each.
A bolt including its thread is quite a complex modelling operation to do manually. However, since a machine easily manufactures it, you can create a bolt in Blender that can be easily generated parametrically.
The Angle value of the Bevel Modifier determines which edges get bevelled depending on the angle of bend. To target edges specifically, we go back to the Bevel modifier and change the Limit Method to Weight…
In Blender, if we want to change our Bevel at a later stage, then we need to use a Modifier instead of the Bevel tool…
At first glance, the easiest way to ascertain the size of an object in Blender is to select it and then look at the Dimensions in the Item tab of the “N” menu. This is a perfectly valid method – sometimes, but not always…
Scaling an object precisely is easy. If you want to scale all dimensions by a particular known factor, it’s very intuitive…
A mesh cannot have a geometrically perfect curve like a 2D fillet – Instead a curved surface is made up of lots of flat faces. The more faces, the rounder the edge looks. Because of this, a different term is used – a Bevel…
Grab selected vertices and move them using a modifier – a non-destructive operation. Is it possible to deform objects proportionally but still remain editable? Yes, you can use the hook modifier. The idea is that you can hook a set of vertices on the first object to a second separate object and then move or rotate that second object around…
