Digital Sculpting
Digital sculpting is the process of creating a high-resolution 3D model with a series of painting strokes, using a pressure-sensitive tablet or screen. Usually the details from these models are baked into a NormalMap for a lower-resolution in-game model.
<<Anchor(Re-Topology_Apps)>>
Sculpting Apps
See for sculpting apps.
Base Meshes
See BaseMesh for downloadable meshes and base mesh modeling advice.
Character Sculpting
These cover hard-to-find subject matter, or they offer in-depth explanations of reasoning and technique. If you're looking for music-only timelapse head sculpt videos, they're widely available elsewhere.

Hard-Surface Sculpting
Most mechanical modeling is done with Subdivision Surface Modeling but digital sculpting apps can also be used for mechanical work.
