We have an assignment to make a cup and my teacher made smooth circle shaped edges with only a few vertices in the instructions. However he did not explain how. I've tried with loop tools -> sphere, but that wasn't any help.

How do you achieve the result in the second image?

    $\begingroup$ Try Loop Tools > Relax, that usually works pretty well for me. $\endgroup$

Let's add a circle for example

enter image description here

enter image description here

Now go to Modifier Properties tab and select Subdivision Surface. Then increase Levels Viewport, for example, up to 3 and make sure you enabled this feature:

Now your mesh turned from this:

To this:

Use the same technique to make your handle smooth.

  • $\begingroup$ Just a thought. You may want to post an additional answer by starting with a torus and deleting part of the torus. Then proportional edit perhaps. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @atomicbezierslinger, I thought the question was not about how to make a perfect round handle (like a half of the torus) but how to make those edges between vertices to be curved in edit mode $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Exactly. I just wanted to know how to make the edges curved. Proportional editing was just something we could play around with, but isn't very practical in this case. :) That reminds me of something. Is there any way to modify the area of the proportional editing? It's very large by default and affects the whole cup with only one vertice selected. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Blendome, in order to modify proportional editing area, just scroll your mouse wheel up and down while moving your vertex $\endgroup$
