Exactly what @zenogias said. I definitely didn’t know clay sculpting when I started 3D, but trying it a bit definitely helped me get a better understanding of forms in 3D space that is hard to grasp on a computer. Just like learning how to sketch has helped me be more observant of an object’s form and details. That said, it’s not something I do regularly or am particularly good at. I know @jonathanwilliamson took a clay sculpting class a while ago, so maybe he can chime in.
Usually the biggest barrier to entry is the price of the clay and finding the right tools. So if you’re interested in clay, definitely give our SculptBox a try since it has all the tools and is a good bit cheaper than buying everything separately.
