Getting Started (continued)

	Step 6 - Press the O key (the letter "o", not "zero"). You should now see a new icon on the header. If you click on it, you'll see a menu with the choice between Smooth or Sharp Falloff. The "falloff" is the way the points that are not selected will follow the movement/size of the points that are selected, depending on their distance to them. I don't think I need to explain the difference between the sharp and smooth falloffs, the little icons are self explanatory.
	Step 7 - Press the G key, but don't move the cursor. You should see a small grey circle near the selected points. This circle tells you how far the falloff influence goes. Press the "+" key to increase its size, until the whole octopus is within the circle. Then, move the selected points as shown on the image. You can press the "o" key again to disable the falloff mode.
	Step 8 - We will now make the head of the octopus. Select (B) all the points at the top of the shape, and extrude them a little (E).
	Step 9 - Extrude them twice more, and resize (S) the last extrusion to make it smaller.
	Step 10 - Extrude the points a last time, and then resize them to make it look as if they are only a single point. Then, on the editing menu, on the Mesh Tools box, increase the "Limit" a little and click on "Rem Double". This will remove the points that are almost at the same place, and keep only one single point at the top of the octopus head. ("Limit" specifies the maximum distance where the points/vertices would be considered a double).
