Loving the course so far! One quick question: is there any advantage in using the “Symmetrize” sculpt option compared to the Simmetry modifier? At a first glance they seem to yield the very same result to (a newbie like) me

I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it, dmolin!

I’m not aware of a Symmetry modifier…unless you mean the Mirror Modifier. In which case, the symmetrize option has the benefit of convenience. It’s a one-click solution compared to deleting half of the object, selecting the mirror modifier, setting proper axis and other settings.

But aside from convenience, I’m not aware of any other advantages.

Oh yes, you’re completely right, I was referring to the mirror modifier 😀
