You'd use shortcuts but this way with global search input, it's more descriptive (add invert selection and convert edge selection to poly selection after dot loop + ring). Starting with evenly subdivided geometry:
And here is the Throne in Unreal Engine 4 : I wanted to give my scene some "global dirt" to let think that a party took place here :poly142:, and now, there is no one. Hope you'll enjoy :)
