I just discovered the Grid Fill the other day, it saved me a lot of work where I was getting some unexplained, unexpected gaps in my model. As mentioned here, it doesn't always seem to work perfectly, but with some tinkering, the result is better than what I had before. I wasn't sure what the settings were meant to do, so thanks for explaining them!
I started at zero and after watching a few of these videos I am already able to do so many things. I've got that older "this is a pain in the ass" brain about computer stuff, but so far, I am not frustrated following these videos. It's much appreciated as I can't afford a class.
I was modelling an R2-D2 model for the last 2 days. If I knew this grid fill it would have took me 1 day to finish the model. This is insanely a life and time saver :) Thank you!
Great clear video (as always) of a super useful tool. This tool will find use for many applications, particularly tidying up 3D scanned/photogrammetry recreated geometry among other uses. Leads to easier 3D printing or 3D "real physics" simulation
it looks like span is basically telling blender when it makes a grid, is how many points are in X vs. how many points are on Y. (remaining points go to Y). Try it, see for yourself. When Span correctly matches the actual points that are on X, you get a rectangular-looking grid
How is it that I use fill so much, but don't try grid fill. I feel so dumb. Would of saved me so much time and made things I had worked on previously so much better than trying to have it match the flow manually for the topology. Ooof.
I try to do the sphere with the vertices selected along the cut and nothing happens. I do get a message thats says select to edges loops or a single closed edge loop from which two edges loops can be calculated.
Same sphere. No changes to default sphere . And massive shading and distortion issues after grid fill . In my opinion grid fill is in the most cases useless
Hi everyone! Let me know if you're using the grid fill tool in the comments below! :)
I will be now! This will help with tubing/pipes I hope.

Thanks! I finally got it to work for me using offset to get different variations of how the edges lay. It has seldom ever been helpful til now.
This guy is life changer , thanks a lot mate solved issue just because of you !

I wish I would've known about this a couple months ago. I've been doing the cuts all by hand. Thank you, sir.
Literally found this exactly after needing it for a project😂😭. Still, this is going to save me soo much time in the future, so a big thank you!
I was literally working on something that I need this tool for now. Awesome stuff you explain things faster and easier than any other channel.
This one is absolutely amazing. Thanks for posting a video on it!
just a tip if some people want the bottom to be filled, u can select the edge loop again, press ctrl + F and then click the grid fill optoin
Thank you TheCGEssentials for always having cool, random, blender secrets🤩
This is something I did not know I needed until I needed it. Just found your channel!
Nice, was looking for something like this yesterday
Oh thank's so much! This is exactly what I needed! Amazing! ☺💪
good coverage of this tool Justin. Keep up the great work bro
thank you sm bro! much needed tuto
That's a great tip. Modo has a feature like that I've used a bunch but didn't realize Blender did also.
i love his work, i have the book and it's brilliant resource. congrats!

Thank god this video exists, cause there's no way me, as a rookie, would've figured this out
thank you, this method saved me time 😊
Thank you so much! This was very helpful!
Great tip. Will definitely try this

Another great video, keep them coming.
Seen them on reddit. Great tricks!
well explained, guru
Great tip. Thank you!
0:35 It is 1,800 some pages and I haven't made it all the way thru, YET! Funniest thing I have heard all day.
Thanks mate, kkep the good woork!
Thanks!
nice!

Awesome tnx
I try to do the sphere with the vertices selected along the cut and nothing happens. I do get a message thats says select to edges loops or a single closed edge loop from which two edges loops can be calculated.
how do you do it manually? Just draw a triangle to fill in a missing one.
hi none of that worked. I have 3 cutouts I am trying to remove and it wont select edges or loops.
Alt key doesn't work as intended for me...help
man every tutorial i se on this i dont get it i cant select 2 part at a time for some reason :(
Wow.....
Alt klick does nothing .... 0:54
fuck yeah man this help a lot
Awesome!
i can't get it to work :D
It does not work
Yes it does work on the half cut sphere at lest not for me maybe I'm selecting it wrong
Same sphere. No changes to default sphere . And massive shading and distortion issues after grid fill . In my opinion grid fill is in the most cases useless
I can only imagine the math required to do that lol
OMG useless
why do you talk so strange?
😂 I notice too. Like a advertising from a radio station from the old times
BTW it doesn't work on half cut spheres
Very good
