In this video I go through how I would set up a 3D sculpt from scratch using BodyPaint 3D.These 3D sculpting tools are also the same ones found in Cinema 4D Studio.

We look at how to subdivide and object and where to get yourself ready for sculpting good detail.

I look at how to use layers to help compartmentalise your work, which really helps further down the line when you want to check through your work, or rework certain sections of your sculpt.

I look at a few simple tools, namely the Push, Smooth and Repeat tools, as well as their options for sculpting on different premade brushes or stencils.

I also explore different ways of ensuring that your model is symmetrical, either by the brush options or the Sculpt Symmetry tool.
