Questions tagged [sculpting]

Questions pertaining to Blender's built in sculpting tools and or plugins.

Sculpt Mode is similar to Edit Mode in that it is used to alter the shape of a model, but Sculpt Mode uses a very different workflow: instead of dealing with individual elements (vertices, edges, and faces), an area of the model is altered using a brush. In other words, instead of selecting a group of vertices, Sculpt Mode manipulates geometry in the brush region of influence.

Correct way to dig a hole in sculpt mode

I was trying to dig a hole in a sphere. But Draw tool only allows me to get this deep: I turned on Dyntopo, but it doesn't help much and increases polycon like crazy: I know it's probably easier to start with a tube/cylinder. But just for learning…

Settings for zbrush-like Layer brush?

In Zbrush there is a brush that doesn't overlap upon itself, it can make for some smooth uninterrupted strokes. I was wondering if Blender had anything of the sort, where the depth sort of levels off and it doesn't continue to build up. Thanks.
