How many verts does this sphere have?

Question

I tried to follow along this video with my own cube with ctrl+5 subd. I didn't scale it up. It appears more pixelated than the demo. Is it because the sphere in the video is subdivided into more verts?

Solution

Hi Ally ZZeurille ,

It tells you in the Bottom right of the UI: 98,306. This corresponds with a Cube with Subdiv Level 7. A cube with Subdiv Level of 5 has 6,146 Verts. If you open a new file with the Sculpting Template, you get a Quadsphere with 24,578 Vertices (Subdiv Level 6).

It also has to do with screen space and viewport distance and stuff. And also on your wrist and eye. Sculpting is tricky. I think it is very much like drawing in a way, you can watch a tutorial of someone hand drawing amazing art, yet if you try and copy what you see on screen to do it yourself, there is little chance you're going to get the same result. You just get the hang of it the more you do it and acquire the skill.
