Hi,
I read some texts about EDGE LOOPS (or edgeloop) and i had dificult to understand the concept.
Are edge loops the edges that we select to animation or are the egdes that we had to calcurate when we are modeling a character to animation?
Thanks.

An edge loop is used when you're modelling. Take a look at an edge of one of your meshes. Let's say a sphere. An edge loop would be taking all edges connected to that edge's tangent. So if you selected an edge loop of a sphere and detached it, it would be a perfect circle

This is the edge

This is the edge loop for that edge
