0 Carlosan Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 well... sculpt hard surface is not the best way to achieve sharp edges. I use sculpt step to create fast sketches focusing on shapes and proportions, and then retopo or subd modeling using that shape as base to create final models.

1 Advanced Member phoenixart Posted November 1, 2022 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 @Elemeno Vox Hide keeps the edges quite sharp. For secondary details, hard surface brushes on a dense mesh should work OK. But I don't know what's your workflow, not sure vox hide + brushes may apply in your case.
