Let's take a look at one last way to add extra geometry which is also very very useful.
And this is called the loop cut tool.
So this one you're going to be using it a lot as well.
And it is awesome.
So lute cuts.
Let's go into edit mode by hitting tab.
And now what we want to do is if we hit Control are you could see that we get this purple line throughout
our cube wherever we move it.
And this is a loop cut so you can decide where to put it.
And once you know where you want it basically the loop cut as the name implies it cuts in an entirely
new loop around your whole object and it's going to be adding geometry to it.
So instead of trying to explain it let's see it in action decide where you want it.
I'm going to put it right here.
If I left click you can now see I have an extra loop around my cube.
And as soon as you click after that you have the purple line you can actually move your mouse to to
to designate where you want it to go if you wanted to be in the center you would just right click or
if I hit Control Z to undo that control our once again to get the loop current.
So again right click makes it go to the center of the cue or the center of the MASH.
But if I left click it will actually position it right there.
So very cool.
And now if I hit control tab to go into vertex select mode you can see that I have a whole new loop
cut in here.
Pretty awesome so I have these new vertices to work with.
Now to select a loop cut or to select a loop because you can slide these one at a time by shift right
clicking.
But remember this is a loop right here and it's a goes.
It's continuous loops back around itself so to select a loop cut all you have to do is also hold down
Allt and right click inbetween an edge of that loop.
So now if I right click that you can see it selects the whole entire loop and then you can actually
move it around.
But right here I'm moving it along the y axis if I want to move it along the loop I actually have to
do it a different way because this is fine and dandy but if you have a mesh that is turning itself around
it's going to move it in a weird way.
For example let me show you if we take this by another way to select by the way if you hit the Beaky
And right now all I did is I went to wireframe mode.
So right here go from solid to wireframe or head Z on the keyboard.
If I hit the Beaky I get these crosshairs if I left click and drag it.
I can select whatever is in those crosshairs.
Now let's go ahead and move these this way and up a little bit.
So now our cube is going up into the air.
If I right click this loop cuts and move it along the y axis like this you can see that it's moving
it along the y axis but not if I hit control-C to do it but not along the actual flow of the mesh you
can see it's kind of like flattening it or straightening it out because it's all moving again along
the y axis.
But what if I wanted to move with the flow of this mesh well in order to move a loop cut along the flow
of the mesh.
All you do is hit G twice and it will actually it's called The Edge slide it will slide it along that
edge or that loop the loop will slide around between this point and that point.
So now you're able to position it and still keep the shape of your mesh.
So that's a that's an edge slide.
Pretty awesome.
Now one last thing I want to take a look at is how do we have multiple loop cuts.
Yes we can control our arse.
My bad.
Yes we can control our adult cut left click control our outer loop cut left click.
But what if we want to add several and have them evenly spaced and everything.
I'm going to hit control-C to undo that.
Go ahead.
Hit control are.
And now with your mouse we'll scroll it up or down and you get that and how However many loop cuts that
you want and if you look at the bottom left over here it says the number of cuts so right now it's five.
So you could select let's select four left click then you're given the option to slide around.
And right now it's actually an edge slide mode right before you select where he wants to go.
And you could either right click to center it or left click to put it in that position.
I'm going to right click.
Let it be centered and now you can see that we have four loop cuts exactly in the position with the
same distance and spacing in between them.
Another way to add multiple loop cuts if we hit the tiki on the keyboard you can see that right here.
We can actually increase the number of cuts that we have up and put whatever number we want.
Now keep in mind that once you select a number of cards and if you start changing or adding your mash
or actually if you go into object mode and then back into edit mode you won't be able to change that
any more.
And so when you have control are if you click for that loop and let's click it once again you could
actually have this option over here to increase the number of loop cuts that you want.
Pretty awesome.
So those are loop cuts.
Let's take a look at one last thing.
How in the world do I remove a loop cut.
Well pretty simple.
All you have to do is Allt right click between a edge of a loop which will select the whole loop cuts.
All right click and then hit X..
But we're not going to delete the vertices because if we do that then we have holes in our mesh.
We're not going to lead the edges either or the faces which we can cause we only have vertically selected
but what we're going to do is hit X and then we're going to select the edge loops right here and that
deletes the loop cut.
So we can delete all these loop cuts by right clicking and an X edge loops.
Pretty awesome.
And that's how you delete edge loops
so that's how that's how you add loop cuts that's how you add multiple cuts how you select them and
how you delete them.
So quick recap control our ads in the loop current left click to select that and then left click once
again to confirm the location or right click to leave it centered.
All right click allows for you to select a whole loop cut and then hitting G twice allows for you to
edge slide your loop and the last thing X the delete edge loops allows for you to delete your edge loop.
Pretty awesome So that's the third way of adding in geometry to your mesh which will which you will
be using quite a bit.
All right so very well done on finishing a tutorial.
And now let's as always finish on a positive note with this little quote slash.
All right.
Harry go read along with me ladies and gentlemen.
Remember to listen to that inner voice your intuition or heart whatever you want to call it.
And as you listen closely you'll begin to hear more of it.
It will grow from a tiny whisper they can barely hear the shouting roar which you can no longer ignore.
So listen closely you can't deny your desire any more.
All right ladies and gentlemen listen to that small inner voice somehow already knows what you want.
All right.
Take care.
See you in the next video.
