Tip for making the crown a bit faster

When I made my crown, instead of going all the way around deleting faces and reconstructing the geometry to include diagonal edges using ‘fill’, I used a shortcut where you select a vertex and press ‘v’ to ‘rip’ that vertex away from it’s place. This essentially splits that part of the geometry in half giving you two vertices where there was one.
You can then, with ‘snap to vertex’ and ‘automatically merge vertices’ on, simply move and snap one to one side and one to the other side to form the spikes.
I found this to be more efficient than the method given in the video.
