Insert edge loops with edge flow

Maya supports to insert edge loops with edge flow. Blender can insert edge loops but not with edge flow.

It would be really useful to have this, too. You could just add it to the bottom left popup menu when using the edge loop tool.

Video processing...

At least there is an add on for that. But it would be nice if it would be implemented in the standard insert edge loop tool, with a small checkbox in the popup menu

there is so much features like this addon that would be nice to see in default tools in blender, but unfortunately devs have no time to watch on each of them...

  1. This addon exist, it is completely free, what else u need? Tutorial how to google things? If addon exist and it is free and it is searchable by google - it is almost part of Blender... just use it.

  2. If you would used RCS search or know how to use google without tutorials - you'd probably knew that this topic already exist Modeling / Edge Flow addon installed by default and better integrated

  1. What the point of adding video that no one can watch? Why not just link to youtube?

Why shouldn't people ask for features to be included in Blender just because they exist in free addon?

This is the problem with this kind of argument because then you'll have to get hundreds of addons for such small features to make blender feel complete and then when there is a new version and things break you'll have to wait for updates from their creators and some just abandon them after few years.

To me the purpose of Addons shoud be defined for more bigger stuff not these small missing ones.

Your complete Blender is different than my one or someone's else. Not everything has to be merged just because it exist.

Why this particularly addon still not merged in to core stuff while RCS proposal to merge it with already 140 votes exist (sitting on third TOP page) - question to someone who lead development and decide what to do and what not.

"What the point of adding video that no one can watch? Why not just link to youtube? "

I know it's offtop, but have you info about this issue (infinite video processing...)?

Pascal

We're talking about small tools here that are quite essential especially for modeling not things that are far-fetched and my point stands small addons get abandoned all the time best to actually merge most of them.

There are many top voted proposals on RCS and clearly the Devs don't pay much attention to them,maybe it's overwhelming for such small team or they just don't care about users requests.

I already tried 2 times to upload a video, both times without success....

First time, I tried a gif, infinite video processing...

Second time, I tried a mp4, infinite video processing...

Dont know why this happens

I would really love to see this implemented by default in blender. I created an account just to vote on this topic :) . That's very essential on my modelling process and I use it everyday. I believe other people who uses blender for modelling also use this feature and would think it's amazing to see it implemented.

Nowadays I rely on the addon written by Benjamin Sauder. But as Pascal pointed out "We're talking about small tools here that are quite essential especially for modelling not things that are far-fetched and my point stands small addons get abandoned all the time best to actually merge most of them. ".

So, everyday I think when it will stop working or receive support : /
