FASTEST Way to Bridge Edge Loops in Blender!

Описание: Learn the FASTEST and most effective way to connect edge loops in Blender using the powerful Bridge Edge Loops tool! This quick Blender tutorial demonstrates how to instantly join openings between two parts of your mesh, and then perfectly control the resulting connection to create smooth, curved pipes or elbows. This technique is essential for speeding up your 3D modeling workflow.
Here's how to master Bridge Edge Loops for curved connections, as shown in this video:
Select Your Edge Loops: In Edit Mode, select the two open edge loops that you want to connect. Ensure they have a similar number of vertices for the best results, though Blender can often handle discrepancies.
Bridge the Gap: Press Ctrl + E to open the Edge menu and select "Bridge Edge Loops". This will instantly create new faces connecting the selected loops.
Control the Curve - Number of Cuts: Immediately after bridging, an operator panel will appear (usually in the bottom-left of the 3D Viewport).
Increase the "Number of Cuts" value. This adds more segments to the bridged section, giving you the necessary geometry for a smooth curve.
Refine the Curve - Smoothness:
Adjust the "Smoothness" value in the same operator panel. This controls the profile and angle of the curve, allowing you to create anything from a gentle bend to a sharp elbow. A value of 0 is a straight connection, 0.5 can create a 90-degree circular arc, and values up to 1 (and beyond for different effects) will further shape the curve.
This simple yet powerful technique is perfect for:
Creating pipes, tubes, and ductwork.
Modeling handles and organic connections.
Quickly filling complex holes between mesh parts.
Ensuring clean topology when joining geometry.
Stop manually extruding and stitching edges! Add this Blender modeling fundamental to your skillset.
