id like to make a set of fangs. im not a blender expert and i dont know how to select sub-object sets. what would be "element" lever subobjects in 3dsmax (gums, top teeth, bottom teeth) are easily selectable in that program and i assume blender allows me to select a suboject to set up vertex groups instead of vertices. it would be much quicker. if anyone knows of a tutorial please point me toward it or at least point me in a direction as far as blender lingo that i can research on my own
thanks!

Not sure that this is the information you are looking for but might be useful. The first is for creating fangs, which seems to be related to your question:

The second is related to rigging teeth:

VscorpianC's videos seem popular and at an introductory to intermediate level, though some find them a little too chatty.
