Voxel sculpting 

Voxel sculpting allows you sculpt without any topological constraints and make complex details from nothing! You can change topology as you wish. This approach gives you an absolute feeling of freedom in sculpting. It is not based on surface deformation but on volume building and filling. Feel like a true artist here, don"t think about polygons and structure, just express yourself as an artist!

1. Traditional and Volumetric sculpting comparison
- Traditional sculpting can result in stretched polygons
- Larger alterations to the topology can be difficult (if not impossible) with a traditional sculpt

2. Artist"s Instrument?

- Artists want to draw, to sculpt, to create - The last thing they want to think about is the geometry of an object
- They want to focus more of their time on form and texture, and less on polygons and edge flow
- They want to feel like an Artist, rather than an engineer Voxels are dots in space with a value between 0 and 1
- A marching cubes algorithm allows you to modify the actual volume of an object rather than just the surface.
