newb- whats a loop split??
 

Im trying to model a head, and i found another tutorial, i guess lots of u saw it...

in almost each step, theres a loop split, whats that? i guess its a poly split tool, but im not sure...

yeah that normally uses the poly split tool to go around the model and create a whole loop - you could get the MJpolytools plugin - this makes that sort of thing much easier - sorry cant remember exactly where to get it from but search under that name and you will find it

thanks :)

you can download MJPolyTools from the very same homepage that you found the tutorial.. click on the "script" link in the top of the page :)

btw.. a loop split is when you split through several contiguous faces.

all the circular edges around the eyes are edgeloops. They are made by loop splitting the faces around the eye.

I hope that clarifies it a bit :)
