The Ultimate Guide to Loop Cuts in Blender! (Beginner Tutorial)

[@TheCGEssentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know how you're using loop cuts in the comments below! :)

[@dez7852]

What would be great is how to cut out rects on a face. Having a devil o a time trying to get windows in my crappy little house

[@skr3pindustriesllc]

Curiously when I do loop cuts, it is creating double vertices? I can delete the loop, and there is another loop underneath. Do you know why this is?

[@tedsword]

Hi there, At 7:55, you talked about placing a loop on top of another loop and sliding it down in order to put a loop an exact distance from some other reference point. That works if you have a polygon with two pairs of parallel sides. But in my case, I'm trying to do a vertical loop cut with a building with a slanted roof. If I slide it afterwards, the loop's z-axis doesn't want to increase/decrease with the slant of the roof. Yes, I know that I can type g g to grab and slide along, but that that would get me some imprecise distance away like 1.023646 ft instead of the 1.0000 ft that I want. This seems like a really simple thing and I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure it out. Could someone please help?

The biggest reason I click on your videos is the epic “what’s up guys”. You are a gem, sir.

[@ehoworka]

Great loop cut tutorial. A real life saver! A few comments: Please always mention the Blender VERSION used in your video, so you are not blamed in a year when your directions do not work in Blender 5.3 🙂. Also, mention the MODE: Ctrl-R works only in Edit mode, and it works the same whether you edit faces, edges, or vertices. And, finally, you must hover your mouse over an EDGE, not over a face!

[@jake-mn1cp]

Thank you so much, I was googling why ctrl + r doesn't work for like 30 mins lmao... i was in object mode

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Always worth rehitting the basics - I didn't know that E key trick!

[@dez7852]

LOL "hhhhhhhhWhat's up guys" Kills me every time😁

[@TheCGEssentials]

:)

[@vincentsnow_art]

I really enjoyed the pacing, clarity, and demonstration of various situations and practical applications in this video. I'm coming back to this channel to learn more for sure!

[@The_ammad]

why so underrated :( lots of respect sir, u got a new fan today, and believe me there are going to be millions soon.

[@enygma7725]

I will finally be able to loop cut in meters and not with a scale relative to the object's size!!! Thank you so much.

[@KarenFink-zr8fr]

Thank you! Such a great explanation on how to execute loop cuts and what you can actually do with them!

[@rejeanarsenault7559]

Thanks for the tips. I was not aware of the smoothness option. Thanks a lot. But what helped me the most was the E key while creating a loop cut of angled object: a great Life saver! You are a fantastic teacher.

[@SethLT]

Is it possible to add a loop cut and then slide it later? I was using the move tool but that seems to be creating some overlapping. Also, I cannot figure out how you selected the loop at 8:03. You just very quickly did something and it worked, lol. It's exactly what I needed to know. I guess and also how you are moving it because mine doesn't look like that and when I use the move tool it's also doing overlapping.

[@The_Ninedalorian]

Your tutorials have been essential for me to learn Blender! Thank you 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@rubberdog]

Thanks for the great tips in this video, never tried the smoothness option before and can see many applications for it, Cheers!!

[@el_loote]

☝You can create two cuts on BOTH ENDS of a cube - to model a sofa for example: CTRL+R (Loop Cut) > Wheel up (2 Cuts) > LMB (move cuts) > S (scale/resize) > MMB > Move > LMB. or CTRL+R > LMB > RMB (perfect middle) > SHFT+CTRL+R (offset edge loop) > Move > LMB. or Use the Mirror-Option

[@JUSSOMONE]

10:00 Thank you, been searching since 2 days ago.

[@t2g4_channel]

Thank you for such detailed view on a loop cut! Never knew some of the things you reviewed!

[@TheCGEssentials]

Any time!

[@andsgiant]

Very interesting finds, thanks for sharing.!

[@ViruSamah]

Thank you for the tipps

[@hosseinse4079]

Thank you, it was useful for me If we see you talking on the video .. we will have less stress ... To face new things.

[@agf05_zbn06]

May I ask, how do I get the scroll wheel to work again on the loopcut tool? Because my scroll wheel can't add lines in blender. Even though it could be used before.

[@nadstunes77]

You should have way more subs...thanks....great content as always

[@TheCGEssentials]

Thanks!

[@miketaulbut7568]

very good info

[@MMasterbrock]

As you slide the loop, you can toggle between ends of the loop by pressing the F key.

[@Peterdeskater100]

What do you mean by this? I don't notice anything when sliding a loop and pressing F?

[@dearage]

Thank you!!! Was looking for that "E" key shortcut everywhere!!! Man Blender has a lot of shortcuts. need to find some sort of diagram for all the shortcuts

[@TruthSurge]

I use a pen. Does Blender have a keyboard key that would work as a scroll during loop cut or a way to do that same thing? thx

[@cecelu1638]

Question : I have an uneven object and if I loop cut the lines follow the outline of the object but I want to have a straight even cut, I read that you can type: CTRL + R ; S + Z + 0 (to cut in the shapes' Z axis) but it does not work for me. It deforms the object. What keys do I have to press? I am using a Laptop keyboard, so no Numpad is available.

[@MMomPanha]

Thanks for the awesome

[@hermionegreen333]

very useful thank you

[@mango_wm]

Great! What about a loopcut through a cube with an opening made with the bridge tool. The loopcut is only outside , but not inside?

[@aliaudaytech2434]

Thanks 🙏

[@SaintAngerFTW]

Bruh please drop the "whhhhhhhatsup guz theeeeeeeee cg essentials" in 2024.... its time to move on

[@cgcores525]

Thanks for the awesome content it's great! Keep up the great work!

[@subratkumarmaharana213]

suppose I have added some feature for example bevel to a model and after some operations I want to select the bevelled part and change its properties eg. changing its width etc. . How can I select that particular feature and do that??

[@MarkoKozlica]

How can you make a part of the object after the loop cut a separate object/mesh? For example, if you cut the cube horizontally how can you take the lower part of the cube and convert it into obejct/mesh? thx :)

[@kimopuppy]

How do you make the loop cut lines easier to see? or make them larger? They are so thin and hard to see

[@waspsandwich6548]

9:40 what if I just cut a diagonal loop cut then want to add a straight one on the same object? How do I turn it back?

[@milliondreams9330]

what if want only single face to have loop cut , and after that i want to have loop cut back to normal all around object

[@AlegreFranz]

i was looking for a way to create loop cuts with an exact distance from the edge, you're the only one that I found (google first, then youtube). Great video, you helped me out a lot. Just subbed (i was surprised you had like 451 views so I got lucky today!)

[@SethLT]

Did you figure out how he selected it when it was on the edge? I have no idea.

[@lindenknights88]

when sliding loop cuts how can I make it so my loop cut can slide over an existing loop cut

[@vancepleasant9525]

Newbie question…. I am currently modeling a Boeing 767 jet. Ready to start painting but need the paint pattern to go a certain way. See photos below. The first photo is my current model. The second photo is what I am trying to achieve…..a crisp, clear, CURVED line between the dark grey and white areas. Found a video on how to make a candy cane on KZbin…which I intend to use, BUT my question is… Can a loop cut be curved/shaped AND angled to get the results of the second photo? Tried to paste in a copy of photos. Do you have an email that I can shoot these to?

[@ez865]

Doesnt subdivide do the same thing?

[@yamenmoner6203]

Thanx

[@TheCGEssentials]

Welcome!

[@Experternas]

Damn. I wanted to know how to change the spacing of the loop cuts. If I have a cube and wanted to make 2 loop cuts they will automatically center those on the cube but I wanted the two loops to be closer to the edges of the cube..how do I go about doing that? I've seen it in videos but they never explained it.

[@el_loote]

Easy: CTRL+R (Loop Cut) > CTRL+B (Bevel) > Move the Mouse (Blender 4.0)

[@kimopuppy]

How do you make them easier to see

[@hosseinse4079]

when we have "no 90 deg angle" on sides edge and "skewed shape" how we can have 90 deg loop cut

[@aarondavis8943]

I've wondered the same thing. I think the cut is always affected by the loops to either end of the adjacent faces. So you'll have to use knife.

[@plazmica0323]

how can i loop cut on an angle ?

[@keponism]

I need help, i have a decent GPU yet my pc lag when doing loop cut? can anyone help?

[@hosseinse4079]

you can add Affiliate Links for your hardware that you use too

[@MichaelFlynn0]

so its cntr 'R' in edit mode.

[@A4ADHD]

Im scrolling and its only zooming

[@ChrisReitz-vu8qq]

even thou this is helpful to some the picture was very misleading and would be great if the ultimate "loop cut guide" would show ultimate things like the picture. dont be super simple on most of our accounts throw that curve modifer in there show us some tricks

[@NN-wc7dl]

👍👍👍

[@Bucketboy717]

It doesn’t pop up it pops up on every face but the one i want to do it to. This is probably one of the worst 3d modeling softwares i have ever used

[@talismanskulls2857]

Gawd I hate new blender.
