I agree. Get creative trying to answer the why…..
also there is a method in the fundamentals of sculpting where @theluthier remeshes/regenerates/restores the sculpt to optimize it again: that is worth looking into.
I can’t tell you how many troubleshooting sessions I have done over the past 2 weeks because of something I did but didn’t know I did that is now bugging the crap out of me.
it all started when I customized my themes and matcaps……i think I went too far haha. But I love my color layout. Hard to let it all go again and start all over from scratch.
Troubleshooting has taught me a lot though. A lot about my mistakes. @spikeyxxx has also helped my learning curve on the troubleshooting. He can tell you stories……lol
