So, for example, let's look at our reference. Our photo reference here has hair going in one direction on the top and in a different direction on the side. We can control this by creating a Polygroup for these two different sides of the head. So, what I'm going to do is go down in my subdivision levels, I'm going to hit Shift-D a few times till I'm on my lowest level. Let's turn on the Polyframe. And what I want to do is mask off a line right along that part. So, I'm going to hit X to turn off my symmetry so that we can do this asymmetrically. Let's get one of our Transpose Master tools here.
