Introduction

In this lesson you learn some of the basic tools for working with subdivision surfaces as you model a human character's hand.

In this lesson, you learn how to:

• Convert a polygon surface to a subdivision surface.
• Work with subdivision surfaces in Polygon Proxy Mode.
• Split subdivision faces to create areas for more detail in a model.
• Extrude the split faces to create fingers on the hand.
• Work with subdivision surfaces in Standard Mode.
• Change the Display Level when working in Standard Mode.
• Add more detail to subdivision surface models using Refine Selected Components.
• Create a crease along a vertex edge.
