When NOT to use creases in Blender - Loops vs. Bevels vs. Creases when Subdiv Modeling
"Should I use creases, holding edges, or bevels?" Let's answer this question! When you want to sharpen up edges when subdiv modeling with Blender, it is not always clear whether you should use creases, holding edges, or bevels. In this video, I demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of each approach - and when you might want to use one method over another. 0:00 - Intro 0:50 - Sharpening with holding edges 2:07 - Sharpening with creases 2:48 - Which is more efficient? 6:00 - When creases make sense 6:45 - Bevels instead of subdiv 7:32 - Using the bevel modifier before subdiv 9:14 - Using creases with holding edges 9:36 - Fixing bevel modifier UV issues 12:28 - Final notes Tim von Rueden (https://www.instagram.com/vonnart) created the concept art for the Pothead character. The author of this video, Jonathan Lampel, is working on a huge Blender course that will be released on CG Cookie soon. "WHO IS CG COOKIE?" We are real people!
