set creases by edge angle?

Support Modeling

Is there any way to automaticaly set creases by edge angle? (the same way “edge split modifier” splits edges by given angle).

bump! And i would just like to add: if it’s not possible in blender, does anyone know if it’s possible in some other software?

You would need to write a python script to do this in blender.

You didn’t specify which Blender you are asking about.
There is no such function 'cause crease value is not used by any modifier ( or I don’t know any ) and it influences mesh geometry more directly. The only thing you can do is to select edges by angle and then set crease value for them.
In 2.49: in edge select mode deselect all, hit Shift-Ctrl-Alt-S and set angle value in pop-up then in Properties Panel ( N-key ) set crease value or Shift-E and drag mouse to see changes interactively.

In 2.5x: in edge select mode deselect all, SPACE to go to search tool for “Select Sharp Edges” ( I don’t know any shortcut for this) and set angle in ToolShelf, now Ctrl-E>Edge Crease or N-key for PropPanel>Transform tab>Mean Crease input slider.

Thank you so much jawra! it works :smiley:
I didn’t specify blender version cause i was fine with being able to do it in either one, as long as it’s possible :slight_smile: Thank you for explaining both, I’m usually using 2.53 in my work. You’ve been a great help
