Resample

Change the number of vertices on selected edge loops while preserving their shape.

Resample Demo

Resample is a modal tool. Drag horizontally to set how many vertices each selected loop should have; the loop keeps its silhouette while the vertices are redistributed.

Hotkeys

Key Action
Mouse Move Drag horizontally to adjust the vertex count
LMB/Enter Confirm operation
RMB/ESC Cancel operation
Scroll Up/Down Step the count by ±1
Ctrl (hold) Snap the count to fixed steps
A Toggle Anchor mode

Properties

Vertices

  • Description: Target vertex count for each resampled loop
  • Type: Integer
  • Range: 2 to 512
  • Default: 8

Anchor

  • Description: Keep the original vertices in place and put new ones on the old polyline (linear interpolation). When off, the loop is resampled smoothly along a fitted curve/circle.
  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: False

How It Works

Resample measures each selected loop and rebuilds it with the requested number of vertices:

  • Smooth (default): vertices are placed along a curve fitted to the loop, so the shape stays clean even when changing the count dramatically
  • Anchor: the original vertices are kept and new vertices are inserted directly on the existing edges (linear), useful when you need the source points to stay exactly where they are
  • Multiple loops can be resampled at once; connected loops of matching size are aligned so they resample consistently
