What is edge crease?
Edge Crease This edge property, a value between (0.0 to 1.0), is used by the Subdivision Surface Modifier to control the sharpness of the edges in the subdivided mesh.
What does the crease tool do?
The Crease Tool modifies the crease values directly on the mesh. The Crease Set Editor lets you work with all the crease sets in your scene from a single window, making it easy to create, select, and edit crease values and crease sets across multiple meshes.
How do you copy an edge loop in blender?
In the Object mode, you can duplicate an object by pressing ‘Shift+D’ with the object selected. By pressing X, Y or Z after ‘Shift+D’, you can move the duplicated object in the selected direction. In addition, you can duplicate a vertex, edge or face in the Edit mode.
Do you use edge crease or edge loop in Blender?
Edge creasing is a way to tell the Blender that an edge is to be sharp after using subdivision surfaces. Other pieces of software have this option as well, and yes it does keep the poly count down. But for more control over the mesh, you will want to use edge loops.
Which is better edge loop or edge crease modeling?
In the past, poly count was more of a concern due to memory and software limitations. In making games, this can also be a concern, but if you are modeling for print, graphics, animation and so on, today’s systems can handle large amounts of data, thus polygon count, and the higher the polygon count the greater the detail.
When to use edge loops vs support loops?
People should also consider when using edge loops you are adding geo where it is needed at edges, which is often better than having to crank the subdivisions level up to get it to look nice with just creases. But to the question it isn’t a support loop vs crease thing, but a “and” thing.
Which is better edge loops or creasing in Maya?
Sometimes creasing works great and is easier and cleaner, sometimes edge loops work better. It varies model to model. got any examples of what kind of model or shape would be better off with edge loops than with creasing? If you’re really clean with your loops then i’d say you’re better off going that route instead of creasing.
