This is a series of short videos for beginners who want to dive into polygon editing. If you don’t know where to start this is a good place. It walks through the creation of a basic shape, showing how to achieve it in multiple ways. You’ll get a taste of subdivision surfaces too.

A note: In order for this tutorial to work correctly a particular option inside of the polygon modeler needs to be set. Once in Edit mode, switch to Edge mode, then double click the Extrude Element icon. Make sure the ‘Break Edges’ option is disabled.
