Quick question here.......

Let's say I have a rectangle. So I have a mesh that has 6 faces, and 8 verticies.

Now, I want to so some Vertex painting.....but the face I have is quite large, and with only 4 verticies to work with......doesn't get me as good as I want to get.

So I figure if I can add a few more verticies, this will work better for me.

How? Do I cut the mesh and do it that way? What's a quick and easy way to add verticies to an exsisting mesh?

[W] key -> subdivide.

That will take a square and make four squares from it. You can subdivide even further using the same process.

Also selecting an edge and doing the same will add a vertex in the middle of that edge. You can also use subdivide multi if you want several new vertices.

I had to do the same for my little age, asd I wanted to make a pentagonal door.

I selected the edge, then press "w" and select the top option.
