Symmetry
Mirror
Section titled “Mirror”Press X to step through the mirror axes (X, Y, Z and off), or use the mirror button in the context bar. With a mirror on, every stroke also happens on the other side.
- Mirroring is about the sculpt’s centre, so model with the object centred, or move it there with the transform tool.
- Strokes that cross the middle are handled once, not twice, so a stroke down the centre line doesn’t double up.
Radial
Section titled “Radial”Radial (Make section, or the context bar) repeats every stroke 2 to 16 times around the vertical axis. Use it for flowers, wheels, crowns and turned pots. It combines with mirror symmetry.
The pottery wheel
Section titled “The pottery wheel”The pottery wheel (W) spins the clay, so a brush held still shapes it all the way round. See Make tools.
