LOL - as someone who is very much a beginning modeler, I have to say I did not understand one single word of your post. I'd love to learn from someone with your experience but is there any way to dumb that down for me? Are you talking about they way he seemed to be sliding edges right on top of one another to make them sharper?

Hello MDO2010

I not going to try and dumb down what Ken spoke on will let him do that. But like I mentioned everyone has different techniques to perform the same functions and the edge sliding method used in the tutorial is fine when all you are going to use is Blender for rendering but sometimes and can and often happens with those new to Blender going just a bit to far will give you overlapping edges that if exported from Blender to other applications like Poser for instance you may get some bad artifacts or stray edges looking horrible. There are a few built in tools In Blender to give you sharp edges without additional loop cuts. watch a few of LuxXeon tutorial videos that he does I think will help immensely since he is both well verse in 3DsMax but also bringing his skill over to Blender in a very concise and straight forward manner that usually following one of his tutorials and doing it from start to finish you will learn allot.
