In this video, I'll demonstrate a quick Maya workflow to select every other edge on a high-poly cylinder, helping you to reduce your polygon count for optimized 3d modeling. I’ll also show you how to select and collapse alternating edge rings, making your autodesk maya work more efficient. This technique is perfect for managing mesh density and improving overall project performance.
