    Thank you Laura! Loved the class and tests. Great Handouts also!

    Great tip on the limitations of the Multiresolution modifier, and the subsequent need to have the highest subD level possible before adding it

    Hi Laura! how do you set the sphere that you have in the beginning? Sorry for the newbie question >.<

    1. Hey Renso, from the Layout tab go to the menu Add -> Mesh -> UV Sphere. Hope that helps!

    Hi Laura, just a minor question: how do I save the brush setting? Every time I open a new blender, it just reset everything. Thanks.

    1. Yeah I haven’t quite figured that one out yet either beyond configuring a starter file. You can save the settings you want to keep into a file that you always start from. I haven’t looked into overwriting the actual Blender starter file yet but I can’t imagine that would be too hard.

    Question: Does Blender Import the Brush Presets when you import a Model? i imported the Head you made here and all the Presets for the Brushes are the same as you set them too here, which ABSOLUTELY ROCK by the way. but, if it works like that.. how can i keep other models i import from changing my brush settings?

    1. That’s a great question. I both like and dislike that Blender stores brush data within the scenes directly as well. In this case I’m sure you could export and import the head using an .fbx. There needs to be an option somewhere though when merging Blender scenes to decide what to merge or not. I’ll let you know if I stumble on anything more substantial to offer.

    Hi Laura, thank you for this interesting course. Regarding the layers, there is the add-on Sculpt layers available on ArtStation, but I haven’t tested it yet. What do you think about it ?

    1. I haven’t tried it either but it sounds like something to check out. Cheers!
