modeling with Blender's sculpt tools and multires objects feel more like working with real clay.

- similar to ZBrush's ZSpheres
- There's a script someone wrote with the same basic idea in mind, but I wanted something faster and more intuitive.
- you can change these options for the entire Meta object, while tabbing into Edit mode gives you more options for the selected meta primitive, such as changing the type from Ball to Tube, Plane, Cube, etc. and you can also make Negative metas .
- The Steps Overview:
  -Create Metaballs, duplicate, move, scale, rotate
  -Convert to Polygon via Alt-C (delete original)
  -Apply Decimate modifier
  -Quads via Alt-J in edit mode
  -Apply Multires, add a level
  -Switch to Sculpt Mode and sculpt away!
- -Alt-B -- commit this to memory. It allows you to drag a box around an area of mesh to isolate a specific area.
- -Partial redraw -- here is an option in the Sculpt menu
- -Set Smooth / Set Solid
- Set Smooth will remove the facets and give you a better picture of how it will render.
- Check out this youtube video to watch a head sculpting screen capture.
  -Here is a Tutorial containing info about adding texture to your sculpt brushes.
- a way for correcting the problem with triangles in your mesh. you can use the retopology tool to paint new verts over a sloppy mesh like a metaball structure thus changing the topology but not the basic shape of the model.
- At this point the most logical workflow is to use your quickly sculpted mesh as a template for the final, well-edgelooped mesh
- if you want to just click and hold the mouse to push and pull, select Draw mode in the sculpt panel and turn on Airbrush
- With that on, as long has you have the mouse button pressed, it'll keep pulling outward. Shift clicking will push the mesh inward. I find Grab to be the most intuitive for gross reshaping, and to me it feels most like manipulating actual clay.
