Loopcut 0.2.20 (beta)

Loopcut 0.2.20 beta · 26 October 2026

If you're on 0.2.11 or newer, this installs itself the next time you close Blender. From older versions, click "Restart to update".

New

• Loopcut uses its cloud tools when they make the result better. Ask for a realistic battle axe and it can make a picture, turn it into 3D and clean up the mesh, telling you what it will do and what it costs as it starts. A trailer shot gets ambience sound. Paid steps up to 100 credits run without asking; choose "Ask me first" or "Only when I ask" in Loopcut's preferences to change that.
• Your own Google Gemini or Kimi Code key can now be picked from the list, and Loopcut checks a key when you save it, so a wrong key or model is named right away.
• Cloud or this computer, for renders here too. Before a long render on your computer, Loopcut shows how long it would take and offers the cloud instead.
• Replies start with a summary. What Loopcut checked folds into one line you can open.
• Loopcut opens with every file. Opening a project no longer hides it, and if you close it, Open Loopcut at the top right of Blender brings it back.

Fixed

• Canceling a job you approved now asks you first.
• "Done" shows what a cloud job really charged, and what's held while it runs.
• A finished cloud job whose files didn't download says so: they wait in the cloud, at no new charge.
• Cloud renders: Open the MP4 says where it opened, previews show whole frames, and a finished render shows as Ready in Background jobs.
• Clearer error cards, and tooltips no longer cover a card's buttons.
• Setup's privacy screen now says a cloud render sends a copy of the scene.
• Long tool results are trimmed for the model, which reads the rest only when it needs it.

Known issues

• The Mac build isn't notarized yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first open: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway.
• Windows: if "Windows protected your PC" still appears while our signature builds trust, choose More info > Run anyway.
