I can't seem to get my sculpts smooth, they always seem to have small bumps on the surface no matter how much I use the smooth tool.
Any tips?
I'm a noob but maybe increasing the radius of the smooth tool, decreasing the strength and zooming out a bit should help dealing with small bumps without destroying the general shape too much. But I'm probaply a bit too late... :D
Take a look at your mesh in wireframe view. I often find that these small bumps come from irregular mesh densities created during dyntopo sculpting. The small bumps may have a dense mesh, while the surrounding mesh is more uniform. Try taking the <simplify> brush, and pass it over the small bumps to make the mesh more uniform--then smooth the area, and this should smooth your mesh as you would expect.
Assuming you're using dyntopo (which is prone to bumps) I approach smoothing in 2 ways:
