1

00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:11,800

Let's take a look at one last way to add extra geometry which is also very very useful.



2

00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,290

And this is called the loop cut tool.



3

00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:17,140

So this one you're going to be using it a lot as well.



4

00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:19,030

And it is awesome.



5

00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:20,390

So lute cuts.



6

00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,000

Let's go into edit mode by hitting tab.



7

00:00:23,530 --> 00:00:31,650

And now what we want to do is if we hit Control are you could see that we get this purple line throughout



8

00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:33,940

our cube wherever we move it.



9

00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:37,950

And this is a loop cut so you can decide where to put it.



10

00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:45,670

And once you know where you want it basically the loop cut as the name implies it cuts in an entirely



11

00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:51,450

new loop around your whole object and it's going to be adding geometry to it.



12

00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:55,610

So instead of trying to explain it let's see it in action decide where you want it.



13

00:00:55,630 --> 00:00:56,860

I'm going to put it right here.



14

00:00:56,980 --> 00:01:03,340

If I left click you can now see I have an extra loop around my cube.



15

00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:09,220

And as soon as you click after that you have the purple line you can actually move your mouse to to



16

00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:18,710

to designate where you want it to go if you wanted to be in the center you would just right click or



17

00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:25,140

if I hit Control Z to undo that control our once again to get the loop current.



18

00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,750

So again right click makes it go to the center of the cue or the center of the MASH.



19

00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,610

But if I left click it will actually position it right there.



20

00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:37,040

So very cool.



21

00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:45,020

And now if I hit control tab to go into vertex select mode you can see that I have a whole new loop



22

00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:46,140

cut in here.



23

00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:51,520

Pretty awesome so I have these new vertices to work with.



24

00:01:51,730 --> 00:02:01,480

Now to select a loop cut or to select a loop because you can slide these one at a time by shift right



25

00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,850

clicking.



26

00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:07,770

But remember this is a loop right here and it's a goes.



27

00:02:07,870 --> 00:02:13,690

It's continuous loops back around itself so to select a loop cut all you have to do is also hold down



28

00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:20,460

Allt and right click inbetween an edge of that loop.



29

00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:26,140

So now if I right click that you can see it selects the whole entire loop and then you can actually



30

00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:28,850

move it around.



31

00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:38,620

But right here I'm moving it along the y axis if I want to move it along the loop I actually have to



32

00:02:38,620 --> 00:02:47,920

do it a different way because this is fine and dandy but if you have a mesh that is turning itself around



33

00:02:48,370 --> 00:02:50,330

it's going to move it in a weird way.



34

00:02:50,470 --> 00:03:02,050

For example let me show you if we take this by another way to select by the way if you hit the Beaky



35

00:03:02,420 --> 00:03:05,860

And right now all I did is I went to wireframe mode.



36

00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:10,540

So right here go from solid to wireframe or head Z on the keyboard.



37

00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,430

If I hit the Beaky I get these crosshairs if I left click and drag it.



38

00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,850

I can select whatever is in those crosshairs.



39

00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,760

Now let's go ahead and move these this way and up a little bit.



40

00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,950

So now our cube is going up into the air.



41

00:03:32,290 --> 00:03:41,340

If I right click this loop cuts and move it along the y axis like this you can see that it's moving



42

00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:50,770

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



43

00:03:50,770 --> 00:03:56,140

can see it's kind of like flattening it or straightening it out because it's all moving again along



44

00:03:56,140 --> 00:03:57,270

the y axis.



45

00:03:57,310 --> 00:04:05,290

But what if I wanted to move with the flow of this mesh well in order to move a loop cut along the flow



46

00:04:05,290 --> 00:04:06,160

of the mesh.



47

00:04:06,430 --> 00:04:15,630

All you do is hit G twice and it will actually it's called The Edge slide it will slide it along that



48

00:04:16,230 --> 00:04:21,340

edge or that loop the loop will slide around between this point and that point.



49

00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,330

So now you're able to position it and still keep the shape of your mesh.



50

00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:27,920

So that's a that's an edge slide.



51

00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:29,290

Pretty awesome.



52

00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:34,330

Now one last thing I want to take a look at is how do we have multiple loop cuts.



53

00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:38,530

Yes we can control our arse.



54

00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:39,430

My bad.



55

00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:45,740

Yes we can control our adult cut left click control our outer loop cut left click.



56

00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:51,080

But what if we want to add several and have them evenly spaced and everything.



57

00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:54,050

I'm going to hit control-C to undo that.



58

00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,610

Go ahead.



59

00:04:54,620 --> 00:04:56,030

Hit control are.



60

00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:03,110

And now with your mouse we'll scroll it up or down and you get that and how However many loop cuts that



61

00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:10,460

you want and if you look at the bottom left over here it says the number of cuts so right now it's five.



62

00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:17,870

So you could select let's select four left click then you're given the option to slide around.



63

00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:22,640

And right now it's actually an edge slide mode right before you select where he wants to go.



64

00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:27,910

And you could either right click to center it or left click to put it in that position.



65

00:05:27,970 --> 00:05:29,070

I'm going to right click.



66

00:05:29,290 --> 00:05:37,090

Let it be centered and now you can see that we have four loop cuts exactly in the position with the



67

00:05:37,090 --> 00:05:40,270

same distance and spacing in between them.



68

00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:46,050

Another way to add multiple loop cuts if we hit the tiki on the keyboard you can see that right here.



69

00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:54,710

We can actually increase the number of cuts that we have up and put whatever number we want.



70

00:05:54,850 --> 00:06:02,020

Now keep in mind that once you select a number of cards and if you start changing or adding your mash



71

00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,510

or actually if you go into object mode and then back into edit mode you won't be able to change that



72

00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:08,480

any more.



73

00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:17,690

And so when you have control are if you click for that loop and let's click it once again you could



74

00:06:17,690 --> 00:06:24,090

actually have this option over here to increase the number of loop cuts that you want.



75

00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:24,830

Pretty awesome.



76

00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:26,310

So those are loop cuts.



77

00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:28,650

Let's take a look at one last thing.



78

00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:31,720

How in the world do I remove a loop cut.



79

00:06:31,910 --> 00:06:33,860

Well pretty simple.



80

00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:42,050

All you have to do is Allt right click between a edge of a loop which will select the whole loop cuts.



81

00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,410

All right click and then hit X..



82

00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,880

But we're not going to delete the vertices because if we do that then we have holes in our mesh.



83

00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,190

We're not going to lead the edges either or the faces which we can cause we only have vertically selected



84

00:06:56,410 --> 00:07:05,720

but what we're going to do is hit X and then we're going to select the edge loops right here and that



85

00:07:05,770 --> 00:07:07,550

deletes the loop cut.



86

00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:14,660

So we can delete all these loop cuts by right clicking and an X edge loops.



87

00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:19,510

Pretty awesome.



88

00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,850

And that's how you delete edge loops



89

00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:32,210

so that's how that's how you add loop cuts that's how you add multiple cuts how you select them and



90

00:07:32,210 --> 00:07:34,010

how you delete them.



91

00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:42,500

So quick recap control our ads in the loop current left click to select that and then left click once



92

00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:47,420

again to confirm the location or right click to leave it centered.



93

00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:56,120

All right click allows for you to select a whole loop cut and then hitting G twice allows for you to



94

00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:05,140

edge slide your loop and the last thing X the delete edge loops allows for you to delete your edge loop.



95

00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:11,990

Pretty awesome So that's the third way of adding in geometry to your mesh which will which you will



96

00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:16,730

be using quite a bit.



97

00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:20,480

All right so very well done on finishing a tutorial.



98

00:08:20,580 --> 00:08:27,560

And now let's as always finish on a positive note with this little quote slash.



99

00:08:28,410 --> 00:08:28,850

All right.



100

00:08:28,870 --> 00:08:32,480

Harry go read along with me ladies and gentlemen.



101

00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:39,000

Remember to listen to that inner voice your intuition or heart whatever you want to call it.



102

00:08:39,090 --> 00:08:42,910

And as you listen closely you'll begin to hear more of it.



103

00:08:42,930 --> 00:08:50,750

It will grow from a tiny whisper they can barely hear the shouting roar which you can no longer ignore.



104

00:08:50,910 --> 00:08:55,140

So listen closely you can't deny your desire any more.



105

00:08:55,140 --> 00:09:01,970

All right ladies and gentlemen listen to that small inner voice somehow already knows what you want.



106

00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:02,430

All right.



107

00:09:02,430 --> 00:09:03,060

Take care.



108

00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:05,360

See you in the next video.
