This script enables the fast creation of multiple loops on a mesh and is much faster than the standard Loopcut and Slide button that is currently available in 2.5 when adding multiple loops.
Usage:-
1)Click the FastLoop button on the Tool Shelf to activate the tool.
2)Hover over the mesh in the general area where you would like a loop to be added (shown by a highlight on the mesh).
3)Click once to confirm the loop placement
4)place the loop and then slide to fine tune its position.
5)Repeat 1-4 if needed
6)Press Esc. twice to exit the tool.
Thanks go to Crouch and zeffii for all the help they have given me Cheers guys!
While it does look faster than the built in edge-loop tool, I think it would be even faster, more useful, and more intuitive with the ability to place multiple loops at once along with the proportional loop functionality from 2.4x (useful for edge-loops with uneven thickness where the cut line takes the profile of one of the sides)
You can still use all the functionality of the standard Loopcut and Slide
So multiple edge loops by using MMB up/down is still possible…i should have put it in the video really. I will add it to the next video
I have just uploaded an amended version this script for compatibility reasons, due to a resent API change with the script meta information that stopped the addons showing in the prefs. window and stopped the FastLoop! button showing in the Tools shelf.
They will now work with recent builds and have been tested with r34674!
Not at all a bad idea way to work around the ctrl r shortcut. However I’d like another kind of loop tool. If you know cinema 4D you might understand what I mean: I’d like to see aloop tool for loop select and ring select working the way that c4d does.In cinema 4d you move the mouse cursor over the edge,vertex or face that you want to loop and it shows the highlighted loop, then press lmb and it’s applied,same for ring.That’s something that blender really neeeds to speed up the workflow.
