And at this point, let's show you how you can bake all this detail down into maps, such as displacement maps and normal maps, etc., and use that to produce high detail on low-polygon geometry. So let's go to the Sculpting menu at the top and hit the Bake Scuplt Objects option. We need to pick a file name for our maps. So I'm going to call these Spaceship_Maps.
