Ward I like your detail in your tutorials. I think when I started watching your videos is when I started understanding blender and 3d animation in general.

I have a question. Is there a way to add subsurf to only a certain part of a mesh. If so please tell me or point me to a tutorial. I'm sorry if you have already said that in a tutorial but there are just so many hours of tutorials it would take a long time to find. Please answer.

@SpecialFxKid not that i'm aware of; if you want something like that, it's probably best to just separate those parts and have two different meshes.

your tutorials are perfect man, so complete. i love how when you do a little thing (even if you've done it a million times in the video) you say the shortcut outloud. For example, "i'm going to extrude, "e."

Ctrl+R I found in this video (lol)...seriously saved me so much subdividing/removing of triangles.

However, I am curious, how do you select a series of edges along a path when you're making a seam? Like when you were selecting edges on the finger.

[ward7299]

thank you :) to select a loop, hold down "alt" when you click, and then if you want to select more than one loop, you hold down "shift + alt"

i kept trying to middle-mouse button your video... too much blender on the brain haha.

@IceyHedgehogTV the seams mirror themselves when you have the mirror modifier on

[IceyHedgehogTV]

How do I mirror the seams so that they are the same on both sides and how do I make the seams so I don't have to select them one by one.

@DKCGamerGirl Thanks.

@SpecialFxKid If you are wanting only certain parts of the mesh to be smoothed by the sub-serf, you can select the entire mesh, hit Shift + E and that will allow you to crease the edges back out. Then just select the parts you want smoothed and do Shift + E again to un-crease them.

I can only make seams on one side how do I mirror it?
