Which is the best way to model clay?

This page is an introduction to the sculpture techniques I use when working with ceramic modeling clay.

What’s the difference between dynamic tessellation and regular sculpting?

It is also possible to customize your own. Dynamic topology (also known as dyntopo) is a dynamic tessellation sculpting method, which adds and removes details on the fly, whereas regular sculpting only affects the shape of a mesh. While sculpting, areas might be hidden behind parts of the mesh or they might be too close to other parts.
