Inset allows you to create things like a window. To increase the number of edge loops, use your mouse scroll wheel or type in the number of loops you want using the numeric keypad. When this is enabled, you need to hover over the mesh itself which will then reveal a yellow line to project where this edge loop will be placed. )Īdding edge loops is something you'd typically do to support the edges of a mesh to create a crisp-looking edge, or just to provide additional geometry very quickly. (Note that most of these tools can only be accessed when in edit mode in Blender. So let's take a look at some of the most common types of tools you'll use when modeling. After all, 3d modeling is all about conforming faces/edges/vertices to form a visually pleasing shape. When modeling, understanding how to properly add/remove/modify the mesh s the most important aspect. This is an obvious tip, but one that everyone venturing into 3d modeling in Blender needs to become proficient in.

Therefore to preserve the large faces and to smooth the smaller faces, keep the value very low. The WeightedNormal modifier will make the split normals converge but their direction will take the face size into account: The higher the Weight value is, the more the large faces will weigh on the split normals. Here, the same cube, the left one with Shade Flat, the right one with Shade Smooth:
If they converge they will tend to round the shading, if they diverge they will tend to flatten the shading. The split normals are the normals at each corner of the face that determine the shading between the faces. This modifier, like Shade Smooth or Auto-Smooth, will act on the split normals. With low-poly objects like this one you’ll have this kind of artefacts because Blender tries to smooth between these faces and Auto-Smooth won’t be able to fix it completely, it only takes the face angles into account.Ī good way to improve your shading is to use the WeightedNormal modifier in addition to the Auto-Smooth option.
