MANUAL BLENDER EN ESPAÑOL - Future Works

Heramientas de Aristas y Caras
Algunas herramientas de modelado nuevas se incorporaron en Blender 2.30. Las mismas
están focalizadas en modelado de Aristas en lugar de modelado de vertices. Un tema clave en
Modelado es a menudo la necesidad de añadir vertices en ciertas zonas de una malla, y esto
muchas veces tiene que ver con agregar o dividir aristas en una dada región. Blender nos
ofrece ahora dos herramientas para ello, una Herramienta Cuchillo (Knife Tool) capaz de
dividir aristas en los lugares deseados, y una herramienta Bucle de Caras (Face Loop) capaz
de seleccionar hileras de caras y dividirlas consistentemente. Las herramientas de Aristas
están agrupadas en un menu enlazado a la KKEY, pero cada herramienta individual tiene
también su propia combinación de teclas.
Selección de Arista/Cara
In EditMode, by pressing ALT-B one activates the edge/face select tool. If ALT-B is pressed
once, then Blender is in edge select mode. The edge under the cursor is highlighted cyan. For
each end point in the edge the following operations are performed:
• It checks to see if it connects to only 3 other edges.
• If the edge in question has already been added to the list, the selection ends.
• Of the 3 edges that connect to the current edge, the ones that share a face with the
current edge are eliminated and the remaining edge is added to the list and is made the
current edge.
This way a loop of edges is highlighted (One open (left) and one closed (right) Edgeloop.).
By pressing LMB such a highlighted loop is converted into a set of selected vertices. Any
previously selected vertices become unselected. If you wish to add the highlighted loop to the
current selection use SHIFT-LMB, while if you want to subtract the highlighted loop from the
current selection use ALT-LMB.
One open (left) and one closed (right) Edgeloop.
If ALT-B is pressed twice a Face Loop, rather than an Edge Loop, is highlighted. A face loop
is made by two neighbouring edge loops and extends only to quadrilateral faces, ending when
a triangular face is met (and the two bounding edgeloops merge into one). The same mouse
actions apply as for the edge loops (One open (left) and two closed (center and right)
Faceloops.). Face loop selection is also invoked with SHIFT-R in EditMode.
