Where the hells sub-surf? & particle prob

I just got 2.40 and wanted to model a vase for a scene and shock horror, I can’t find sub-surf! Where is it hiding?

Also, I made some particle flames for a different scene in 2.37, after loading it in 2.40 the particles were completely different. Why?

  1. Editing\Modifiers\Add Modifier\Subsurf

  2. Due to the improvements to the particle engine: http://blender.org/cms/New_Particle_options_a.721.0.html

hahaha.
I was scared too, when I first D’loaded the pre-release. A lot of common things “Moved” around a bit. But I have to admit that the moves have improved my workflow. Elysiun, hands down, have been the saving grace of my sanity
