Simply Loopy - Edge-Loop Decimation

About

Subdivision surface modelling is a fun and efficient way to create objects with nice topology, but adds a lot of unnecessary edge-loops, generating high-poly meshes. This Blender addon simplifies a mesh using its edge-loops, while keeping important details intact!

After installing this addon, you will find the Simply Loopy operator living happily inside the Edit Mode -> Mesh menu. Or search for the operator Simply Loopy.

You can get it from Superhive or as a Blender Extension.


If you’d like to help keep this addon updated, you can check it out on Superhive! Thank you.

I’m happy to take feature requests, however you’ll need to format it in a similar way to how you report bugs for Blender. Here’s a template:

Basic Info
Version: [ Simply Loopy version you were using. ]
Platform: [ Your operating system, be aware I only give support for Windows. ]

Describe the Issue Below
Before: [ What were you doing before facing the problem? What was your goal? ]
The Issue: [ What happened? What obstacle or bug occurred? The more information the better, screenshots, .blend files, interpretive dance etc… ]
After: [ If it’s a feature request, what do you think would help? If it’s a bug, what did you expect to happen? ]

And then PM me here or on Superhive with this info. :slight_smile:

Can’t get it installed

It’s installed like any other Blender extension.

I like to just drag and drop the addon .zip files into Blender. Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

Not working. Blender 4.54 LTS on latest Manjaro. It’s probably me. I’m a relative newbie. I use Blender for little more than two decades.

I think it’s just you as well. :slight_smile:

Nevermind. Using Optiloops instead
