Ok metas knife tool, pretty much the standard of what's going on, bar the slide option which verdite mentioned. maya has this and I must say its quite neat. So you can cut/place an edge loop and then have the ability to move it along the edge. Take a primitive cone and make a cut around the circumfirence. In meta move that line up on the Y and it will distort the shape. Maya will follow the line: At à £3500 I shall find a way around it!
This particular examlpe won't work in meta but there are methods of working ie using quads which may make things easier.
I'm a novice when it comes to this low poly stuff So I might be talking stuff that irrelevant or impractical.
Cutting at specific coords would be make a guess and follow up with 'align verts'. I have this as esc on keyboard shortcut, such is its popularity.
@Verdite - Yes that would be no problem with the horns - and a couple of different ways to do it!.
Is everyone happy with the reference guide rather than tuts? Thats the way I prefer thing.
