Digital sculpting

Imagine you have a lump of clay in front of you. With your hands, you can shape and mold the clay into whatever you want, like a ball, a snake, or a cupcake. Digital sculpting is kind of like that, but instead of using your hands and clay, you use special software on a computer to shape and mold a digital object.

So, let's say you want to make a sculpture of a dog. You start by creating a blank canvas in the digital sculpting software, which is like a virtual lump of clay. Then, using your computer mouse or a special pen and tablet, you start to add and remove digital clay from the canvas until it starts to look like a dog.

To help you with this process, the software offers several different tools, like a brush to add clay, a smooth tool to make surfaces less bumpy, and a pinch tool to squeeze clay together. You can also change the size and intensity of the tools to get the perfect look you want.

Once you've finished sculpting your dog, you can save it as a digital file and even 3D print it if you want! And if you decide you want to make changes later on, you can always go back to the digital sculpting software and adjust your creation.

In short, digital sculpting is using specialized software to create virtual sculptures by adding and removing digital clay until you get the look you want. It's kind of like playing with clay on a computer!
