[Solved] Increase number of tris in specific area

[Starship3D]

In sculpt mode is there a way to increase the number of tris in a specific area? I remember there was a video where it mentions using a brush to tesselate a specific area but I can't find the video and I'm not sure if 'tesselate' means add more tries? Or is it better to split/copy the area and then increase the resolution of that new shape? Or is it better to do anything like that in surface mode?

Try

Adjust > Subdivide: Subdivide surface with Loop subdivision method. Select area to subdivide and use Tool Options

Shift > add detail

 

Edit Brush Parameters (on any tool): turn ON Auto-Subdivide

 

Hope it help

Is that surface mode? I've looked in the options in sculpt mode and I can't find the options you mention above. I'm mostly using Extrude with a stencil.

Surface mode, yes
Its is not possible on Voxel mode, because volume density on volumetric sculpt is a global parameter by mesh.

While Voxels do not have dynamic resolution functionality like Surface mode does, there is a technique you could use that mimics it, somewhat. That is to use the COPY tool in the Tool Panel > create (and select) a new blank Voxel layer, ensuring that the Resolution (x4,8,16, etc.) matches the layer you are copying from > change the shader to something that contrasts with the shader of the object you are copying from, to make it easier to see exactly what you are copying > brush the area you need more resolution, to copy just that part of the original layer. Now, you can increase the resolution to the level you think you need, for example, enough resolution to capture fine wrinkles, bumps on the skin and skin pores, etc. You can also change the shader to match the original layer, and it will be hard to visually notice where the new copy is, as it blends in well with the original layer.
