cheers for the advice, i am already quite familiar with constant detail vs relative detail as i did the Melvin course my self. i prefer constant detail as the I find the camera a bit annoying when trying to maintain detail levels as i will often zoom in and out by accident. i like constant since i know i can move up in steps and the model will over all stay the same subdivisions. i always know that if i want to go back i can use subdived collapse to break a surface down.
my main problem is just with understanding what the unit mean when referring to resolution detail. is 50 high is 100 high is 500 too high. the numbers dont have much meaning to me since i dont understand what they are referring to. they seem generic to me and I find it hard to understand why 25 and 50 dont feel like a doubling in detail.
for instance if you told me that 5 meant that as i sculpt surface and each polygon would sub divide 5 times under the brush stroke that would make a lot of sense.
